Try exercising with a gun in your bra

I don't have any problems with people - but we have bears and that's why I've considered carrying my Ruger 357 on runs (We live on a dirt road). Currently, I stick to the treadmill, but I've definitely considered the Ruger - and let's not forget my German shepherd. She'd be tickled to go for a run, but she's got a vendetta against chipmunks and I'd probably have a hard time getting her to concentrate on running in a straight line!! (Oh, and I have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, but don't think I'd want it in my bra.)0

Cars crash.
Pianos fall on people.
Trees fall, knock out electrical line and burn people alive.
Planes fall out of the sky.
People get hit by lightning.
There - some more reasons to not go outside, that don't care about what you're packing.0 -

True.
I wear a seat belt and insist my kids are in car seats.
I try not to stand or jog under pianos.
I try to stay inside during tornados and hurricanes and I have smoke alarms in my house.
Nothing I can do here other than avoid flying Aeroflot and other such airlines
And I don't jog, swim or surf in thunder storms (Florida is the lightening capital and we take that very seriously)
People live in different areas of the world and have different values and ways of life. I don't judge Canadians for wanting to live close to polar bears.

You said what I was thinking (or something close, lol) much more eloquently that I would have, thanks :happy: .0 -
same here ,,dont need to protect yourself,I couldn't live like that,being afraid to go outside,,without a gun,dont own one ,dont want to own one..my weapon is my fishing rod,,slaying halibutI live in Canada.
You are awesome! (So do I )
I live in Canada too but I don't have a philosophical problem with law abiding (and properly trained) citizens having the means at their disposal to defend themselves.
Guns, in and of themselves, are not the problem. If they were Switzerland would be the most dangerous place in the world to live as there is a full-auto military firearm in practically every household along with several hundred rounds of ammunition; as it is Switzerland enjoys practically the lowest rate of gun crime in the world.0 -
There is a limit to how much protection I (personally) should carry - in a moment of panic too many weapon options would make me hesitate or I would cause myself more harm than good. My neighborhood is decent, I realize there is bad in this world, I do protect myself and am aware of my surroundings.
Yes, he is overprotective and I do believe he is overly paranoid, I entertain him though and carry the things he asks me too and I see that many ladies here do the same for their man and their own protection.0 -
lets see, knife in the car, pepper spray on my keys, taser in my purse, and gun at the house.... as per my hubby I'm to have at least one thing at my easy access at all times. I really like my taser because its one of those compact ones with a flash light on it (and its pink lol). I find it the easiest thing for me to carry around for whatever I'm doing. It may be paranoid now, but one day it may not be... anything could happen...0

There's no outbreak of law-abiding concealed carry citizens shooting people. It doesn't happen.

9mm S&W Shield might have been a better choice, but a 22lr in the knee cap will ruin a bad guy's day.
What some folks don't understand is, there are some running trails where homeless drug addicts live, and rapes DO happen. Even in NH. Happened a couple years ago in Nashua. Female runner in Mines Falls, early morning, gang raped. I applaud your husband for wanting you to stay safe.
That being said, a fannypack holster might be better......
I live in Maryland, close to a Metro station. A young female was gang raped at 4am one morning, as she was walking home from work.
I am 1) jealous that I can't keep a gun in my bra and 2) bitter because we live in Maryland and refer to #1.
I feel for you. What our European friends and envious Canadians dont understand, is that the US was founded on the principle of self reliance. We take care of our own business.
When seconds count, a policeman is only 10 minutes away.
But, but, our political overlords tell us that self help is terrible! C'mon, we should want to be more like our Canuck and English friends. You know, the government is there to protect us and control us at all times.
Sorry, I got all zombie for a moment. Kinda funny to see how ignorant our non-US friends are.0 -
Persons unprepared to use a gun lethally should never have a gun. More likely than not, their weapon will just end up getting used on them.
Now, I've seen this assertion a lot, but have never seen legitimate data on it. For funsies I ran a few n=1 play tests, where people trying to steal my gun from me ended up peppered by airsoft balls. Do you have any credible data that shows, "their weapon will just end up getting used on them."0 -

I wouldn't call it an outbreak so much as a constant presence. Violent crime has always been a part of our society.
Yeah, he kind of left out the part of the quote where I was almost attacked and luckily had a gun that scared off the perp. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been an "almost." Funny how pulling out a gun makes a huge guy with a lead pipe run away.
But you know, me actually using a gun to defend myself....that didn't fit with his agenda.
I've been attacked in boston by a couple guys while out running. They forgot they had a pressing appointment when I pulled my pistol for protection. I guess that fits his agenda even less, because I'm a big friendly guy.0 -

LOL The Canucks and Limey's are subjects and have been emasculated by their rulers. I am blessed to live in Texas and we kinda get to think for ourselves every once in a while.0 -

The difference is that you're willing to shoot. If you don't have the will to pull the trigger, you won't. Therefore, if you don't have the will to use a weapon, you shouldn't carry one. No, I don't have a study to counter your highly scientific test :-)0 -
Coming form Australia I love reading these posts! Sounds so funny that you would even be allowed to carry any type of weapon!0
-
I live in Canada.
You are awesome! (So do I )
ditto
and even in Van I would not think of needing a weapon....well maybe in surrey :P0 -
That sounds ridiculous. As you pointed out, you probably wouldn't be able to use any of your weapons if it came down to it. If you need to carry 3 weapons to take a walk maybe you should more, or buy a treadmill0
-
I have one of those, paranoid hubby and a gun! We live in a location that you can openly carry , no permit required. I totally believe in self protection, thankfully I live in a low crime state, now how can that be when it is legal for anyone to openly carry a gun. The 22 long barrel seems a bit wrong for a bra holster. If you want to carry concealed on a run I would look for something more appropriate size, that you can get to easier and not have to worry about shooting off a body part. or check out some concealment garments

What I think is so funny is a 26 year old who has all the answers!
The basic role of police is not proactive, but reactionary. They generally show up after the crime has been committed and document the event.

Was glad to see this thread because I'm planning to get my concealed carry permit now that I'm into running. I live right by Disney World, and take it from me, it's NOT the happiest place on earth. We already have an excellent alarm system because of all the robberies around here, and most of our neighbors have guns. I'm originally from Chicago and actually felt safer there than Orlando/Kissimmee. I love living here for many reasons, but there are certain places I won't run at certain times of day until I get my weapon. I was thinking of a .22 but this thread is making me rethink that since the gun would be for home protection too. We've got expanded castle doctrine here, which means the right to shoot if you feel threatened, with no duty to retreat, so guns are pretty useful deterrents.0

Cant compare things you dont have silly boy. Why not compare kangaroo molestations or digiridoo crimes? Bottom line, Oz, UK and Canada have higher crime rates in areas reflective of not having means of protection....but dont worry, the US always seem to show up in time to save the defenseless in distress.0 -

I have a concealed carry and would definitely carry while running in an area like you've described. I, however, would probably not go with the gun that he has presented to you. The revolver isn't going to be comfortable to conceal against your person. I have an XD40. There are specialized waist holsters that you can put on, similar to a belt, that will conceal the weapon against your waist area and not be noticeable to those who do not know what they are looking for. I'd suggest going that route to resume your cheerful workout.
