Running

[gocoastal]

Does anyone run while CCing? Sometimes I think my neighborhood is a bit sketchy. The secret service can run while carrying...I assume there must be a comfortable way of doing this??

Do you know how they carry and what they carry.

I gave up running once I got a drivers license.

I find the belly band works well for this. your other option is a fanny pack, but it tends to jump around on you.

go out and buy a fanny pack. Then get you some flip up glasses and one of them poker dealers visors. Take a pic and post it on this forum. Just having fun!

I apologize for laughing, just the image of a dood running through the hood with a fanny pack swinging around like an 80's hair band guitarist is funny.

Dude! I'm not a dude!

As an added thought - maybe open carrying results in less chafing?

What type of gun sits well in a belly band...just wondering about the chafe-factor.

I run, walk, bike, with my LCP in a 4" bellyband I bought through Sportsman's Guide. It doesn't chafe because I wear it below the waistband, over my shorts, with a tee shirt over it. I don't think it would be comfortable around my belly, above the waistband. It does get wet with sweat, be sure to clean and oil it good after, or it will rust, fast. Ask me how I know!

WHEN I run, I carry a Kel-Tec P3AT with the pocket clip, clipped in the waistband of my shorts, and it does fine as long as the drawstring for the shorts is pulled tight enough. Sweat is a big concern, though, keep after the rust. Kel-Tec sells neck lanyards, too, but I imagine that would bounce a lot when running.

When I wear shorts or sweats, I carry a full size 1911A1 45 ACP and an extra mag in a Smartcarry and it does just fine. It's in just the right place not to flop around on you and it has something called Cushmax to keep the sweat away from the gun. If you wear it at 11 o'clock it's more comfortable with a large gun like the 1911. I've just never liked tiny guns or tiny calibers.

Can you just see the look on a perps face when you pull a 1911 out of your shorts?

I don't run unless a bear is chasing me .

Lol ask aroundlsu. I seem to recall a thread where he was running with some ungodly big and scary dog like a great dane when he tripped and fell losing his gun in the process.

Have you ever seen a happy jogger? If I ever do maybe I'll think about it!

Seriously, I had a friend that was USSS years ago. He jogged w/ a .38 snub in a fanny pack. No keltecs back then I guess.

I was chased on a bike by a St. Bernard once. Damned thing looked like a bear was after me! I don't think a .380 would have even bothered that monster!

Yes open carrying causes less chafing but DON'T DO IT. IF you open carry you will cause panic in the streets. Pregnant women will miscarry. Children will start crying uncontrollably. Grown men will curl up in a ball and suck their thumbs. Police SWAT units will arrive and shoot you with little or no warning. Your family will be devistated. All because you didn't want to be chaffed so you gave up your tactical advantage and open carried.

It would make a good story for " Sheriff " John Bunnel and the helicopter reporter though .

If you are going to open carry go all the way, sling a rifle!

Slightly OT, but a girl I work with has a shirt that says, "My sport is your sports punishment" . Now back to your normally scheduled post.

I can see the logic behind that statement. I run 2 times a week 3 miles each time and I honestly HATE it! I dot it to say in shape and as a personal "challenge" to myself. I have heard of people out there who enjoy running. Those people make me sick. On a side note... I had a great run this evening!!
