I live in Alaska. For those who aren't familiar with AK, it's HUGE, and legal to carry loaded concealed weapons at all times...no permit necessary. Need less to say, I walk with a .38 or a .45 strapped to my hip. AK is also known for meth heads and bears. It's not always comfortable, but neither is being attacked by a 2 legged or a 4 legged animal.0

I would rather carry pepper spray (mace) than a gun or knife while working out or jogging. My reason is that IF anything were to happen, I would rather spray the person attacking me than shoot them or stab them. Any of these weapons can also be used on you if they are able to get them away from you & I would rather be maced than shot or stabbed.0

What about pepper spray or a tazer? I think those would be simpler and less deadly.0

My LC9 is my running partner. I carry concealed under my left arm (clip holster to side of sports bra). I prefer the cross draw and it is usually out of the way as my arms are slightly raised when running. There are some belly band type holsters that also work well. Gotta do what works for you. All hail the 2nd Amendment! )
You are awesome!0 -
knife-wrench, it's practical and safe.0

Who is this guy? Chuck Norris or something?0

Guns don't make you safe. If guns make you safe, then the USA must be the safest place on Earth.
It just means if you get mugged, someone has to die - probably you, I might add, unless you're the kind of person that has no problem killing another human being.0 -
I am not a "gun" person so my answer is not to carry one. If my neighboorhood becomes unsafe and I fear walking or running guess I will invest in a Pitbull.0

Why thank you0 -
Thank God I don't live in America, is all I can say.
Sorry but true.0 -
I am living alone in the university area, mistly open field. Often I return home late so I carry a pepper spray and just keep my eyes open. I don't like guns. And here unless you are a guard or something you can't even carry one.0

If I needed a gun or knife to run outdoors, guess what I wouldn't run outdoors. I'm American and I don't get this and so I have to stand with Europeans and Canadians on this one. . I'm from New York City, Brooklyn at that and I used to live in the projects. I used to run around the projects and never once thought about having a weapon. Maybe you wouldn't need a weapon if you just used common sense when out on a trail or jogging. Avoid desolate areas, run in the daylight, keep your IPOD low enough where you can hear what's going on around you and know your surroundings. That has never failed me. Even coming from a large city where there have been incidents of joggers attacked, in most incidents common sense would have prevented it. Re gentrification is big in NY right now, In some of the city's up and coming communities, I can't tell you how many times I have seen some of the well to do yuppies who have moved into predominantly minority neighborhoods jogging late at night with IPODS blasting. I almost want to knock them in the head to just to tell them to learn some street smarts.0

WOW is all i can say to this!! This has to be the most ridiculous post i have ever read!
Running with guns and knives? Mate.....i dont care how busy and hectic your life is with your kids...there is a way to solve this. ERRRR dont go running in the dark in the rough areas. Get a gym membership like normal people.
And to all you people posting actual suggestions for seriously concealing a weapon.... ...feeding the problem!!0 -
Thank God I live in NZ.0

Thanks for posting. I've been considering this as well for a very similar reason. This has been quite knowledgeable and also entertaining for this night shifter, lol!! I workout after I put my kids to bed, and before I come to work, and it's dark out. Thanks for all the great advice. Proud to be an American where I can choose to carry or not!!!
Oh, and let's not forget that the gun itself is not dangerous, but rather the person behind it. If the intentions are criminal the person will find a way to get a gun!!Guns aren't legal there, but running nude is ok? *gasp!Take a look a Chicago it is one of the most violent cities in the world and it has the most strict gun laws in America conversely Texas has an extremely low crime [rate] and some of the most liberal gun laws.0 -
So sorry you even have that option...Thank god I live in New Zealand!0

Option 3 - move house! Seriously!!! Carrying a gun? Mental.0
