I've recently gotten back into running, and I hate not having my CCW on me while running. I honestly don't know how I'd be able to carry any of my current guns while running. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I've never felt the need to carry while I'm running

I don't need to carry while running but you can look into one of those fanny pack holsters.
When I walk the dogs I put my M&P shield in a sticky IWB holster and tighten my drawstring. it does well enough for a $25 holster.

I use to run with my Kershaw all the time in BR, almost had to use on the levy right in front of riverside towing once to help a dude that was getting ready to get his head stomped by some urbanites..





By urbanites I mean black tPOS

I usually do something like this:



You could also get one of the Keltecs with the clip or any other "pocket pistol" in a IWB holster

Glock17,
I understand your concerns. I resumed running about 10 years ago. The thought of cc while running never crossed my mind at that time, but it does now; let's just say that times have changed..... I don't cc on all my runs (I feel pretty safe from the 2 legged vermin in the areas of our small town that I make short runs in), but I DO cc on the longer runs (they take me out of town). I incorporate that w/ non-lethal weapons and a hydration system (LINK ).

On short/moderate runs, I carry a canister of mace (mostly for 4 legged vermin).
On longer runs (anything over 60 min), I'm going to hydrate during the run. I carry the aforementioned hydration belt w/ bottles. Also attached to the belt, I carry a large, folding Cold Steel knife on the left and a can of mace on the right. In the pack at the rear (I swapped out the small size pack w/ their largest one) I carry my cell phone and a Kel-Tec P3AT. I've been using the hydration belt about 6-7 years and it's held up well. I've pulled my mace bunches of times on dogs, but only sprayed it once. I carry regular human mace, not dog mace (the latter is milder). Although I have one of the clips to attach the KT to a belt, I've never attached it or used it; I'm uneasy w/ an exposed trigger on my side. If you want it, let me know and I'll see if I can sell to you.

I run with my AR at the low ready, lets the criminals know I mean business.

Also gives me a chance to catch my breath every couple hundred yards from the popo trying to catch me runnin' dirty.

.380 is the most appropriate answer. IWB maybe

The wind, on my back, then I turn around and she's on my chest.

would you consider carrying a knife instead of a gun while running?

The reason I ask is that I've never found a pistol rig that I could use when running; knife is a viable option for me, but then again, I'm a knife freak.
