re: For runners: What/How do you carry when you are out running?

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.
