Hi all

There was a runner robbed and killed in rural KY on Thursday: http://www.kentucky.com/2012/06/15/2...opular#wgt=pop

And now there's a lot of talk amongst the local running community about getting concealed carry permits... I can't imagine running with a gun. I think I'd feel less safe with one, somehow. But then, I run mostly in the city, in poor neighborhoods, where I feel perfectly safe. If I were out in rural areas or wealthy neighborhoods where there aren't people out watching all the times, it might be different.

Do any of y'all run armed? Pepper spray?

(back to the original incident, how dumb do you have to be to try to rob a runner? The only thing I have on me is my housekey, and maybe water and a larabar.)
