Running at night with a concealed carry.

Maybe a smaller weapon that will be easier to carry might work better?


Couldn't resist! :laugh:

In all seriousness, this is a real weapon!

I am permitted to conceal, but we ARE allowed to open carry where I live. Either or would work. I never thought of a fanny pack holster.

And yes folks, I am trained, it's not my first rodeo. And it is "secured" when I run.

A great friend of mine who lives in Texas, in a rural area, where she runs long distances...like 15 milers...she has carried hers..not sure of holster. Usually she carries a powerful pepper spray though. She has been attacked by random dogs on 2 occasions. One resulting in a bad bite. The last one she sprayed. A woman running alone should be allowed to protect herself. Pepper spray won't stop every thing...

I run with a gun in each hand and a serious look on my face.



*Not really, I live in England. I don't even own a gun :laugh:

When you get abducted while running because you tried to pepper spray your attacker and he proceeded to attack you, let us know...

It doesn't matter if it's rural. Someone said something about a deer mugging...funny. I know when I lived way out in the boonies, there were people around trying to steal gasoline, and also anhydrous ammonia from farmers so they could go make meth. I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't want to be running in the dark and come up on meth heads.

If you have a concealed carry permit, get the holster fanny pack and carry it there. Make sure you have the permit with you when you do. If you DO NOT have a permit, but your state allows open carry, I'd recommend a well fitted ankle holster, with padding.

Years ago I used to carry a shoulder holster...maybe you could look into something like that? I"m sure if you look on line the possibilities are endless.......and alot of new stuff since I carried a shoulder holster. I also have a carry license......but don't run at nite........I too live in rural area........but I'm more concerned about coyotes, wild hogs and bob cats..........than people out in my end of the world...lol......good luck!

I did a quick goggle search for "gun holsters for runners" and the first site was http://www.pistolwear.com/. Their holsters are $38-$42.

Hope this helps and stay safe.

ankle holster strap just ditch it if you get rolled up on by a cop, concealing at night while running wouldn't be my biggest concern.

I was assuming that the poster had a legal permit to carry concealed if one is necessary. Open carry is legal in my home state so I don't worry too much about it, but do keep my permit with me.

Frankly ditching a gun is probably more a crime than carry the gun, what if it ended up in the hands of the wrong person. Be responsible, carry legally please.

actually I live in an open carry state too, but I wasn't saying to leave the gun, just unstrap it toss it a few feet away then wait for the cop who if he stops is just checking on you, to drive away, retrieve and keep going, but you are probably right, the cop probably wouldn't even care if you have your permit on you.

Fully support you, I know some female runners who don't run trails if they are running alone, joggers and walkers are easy targets.

Even when I've been running on days the trails are empty, that thought exists in the back of my head, should someone decide they want my shoes/cell phone.

Stop giving her a hard time, its a personal choice, if you disagree, politely keep it to yourself and move on with your day.

I saw a guy the other night run through my neighboorhood while carrying his gun in his hand. He was also carrying a bag of something, probably weights, over his shoulder.

So if you're just running with your gun in your waistband you're probably not working hard enough to get a good burn.

I had compression shorts that are still a tad too tight...it worked perfect.

No way. That's an invitation to a serious finger injury. Same with those Cricket guns. :huh:

Need it for what? A deer mugging? :huh:

Put your gun away before you hurt someone

Yes because responsible, law-abiding gun owners are the ones hurting people ... :ohwell:

In case you're wondering, criminals love people who think like you.

The fanny pack holster. My husband has one of these.

Couldn't you just run a little faster?:flowerforyou:
