I often run out in the country, miles from any road and usually carry my gun in my backpack along with water, and food. It's a legal concealed carry and I have a license.
Mainly I've come across wildlife, but nothing dangerous- but the other day I was running in a large forest park and came across a couple scary dudes (think banjo & Deliverance) and they yelled at me and I just kept running.
I felt a little safer knowing I had my gun with me, but now I'm thinking I need some kind of holster for easier access. My backpack would take a few seconds to take off, unzip, etc.
Anyone on this board carry a gun when they run in remote or potentially dangerous settings?
Curious your thoughts and what you carry to defend yourself.

I have a CCW and spend a lot of time in the back country, grizzly and wolf territory. Never once carried while running.

And, while this should be obvious, a gun in a backpack is about as useless as it gets. Also pretty dangerous for you, to reach into a bag with sweaty hands while breathing hard in a stressful situation. Recipe for putting a hole in yourself.

Never used one myself. But have been eyeing these for years trying to justify the price. Might be nice to use on hikes or in the mountains.
Has anyone used one of these?

I wish Goruck made a product like this.

Can't imagine the chafing I'd get from that thing. Bye bye nipples.

There's plenty of room for it.

wrong coast, so I'm not rossi. a few reasons, you *do have to subtract the 20-22mph that I was going (in the same direction), so impact was only 45ish, her car had a very thin front end (I certainly would have been dead had it been any sort of SUV, van, truck, etc), and her windshield had a very low slope, which meant that i was able to launch off of it, rather than simply slamming into it (and probably breaking my neck). Honestly, I wish there would have been a cop there for the dashcam video, would have been awesome to see the replay. worst part about the lack of cops is that they wrote in the report (she claimed she was "reaching for her purse": I found FB posts on her page from within minutes of when she hit me- lesson there is set your friggin security settings a bit tighter!) that she had violated such and such vehicle code sections...and then didn't even cite her for it! wtf??? yeah sure, like it was an "accident." back to the OP's point, something like this won't be helped by a concealed carry.
