I will tell you that as many times as I've been told I should run with a gun, it's not something I'd be comfortable with. I don't want to wade into the gun debate here. While I don't personally know anyone who runs with a gun, I know that there are runners who do. But if you're considering packing heat or carrying some sort of weapons, I wanted to share 9 possible self-defense weapons runners could consider carrying. What would you do if you were attacked? Would you be able to break free? Run away? Should I carry a weapon when I run? What are the best weapons against an attacker while you're on the run? Obviously, avoiding a potentially dangerous situation is the best tactic. They stayed with him while they waited for first responders to help him. He crawled out of the woods to the path where he was found by one of my fellow All Community Events ambassadors and the group she was running with. A runner on the path was grabbed by 2 men, dragged into the woods, beat up, and robbed. He shared an incident from the morning on the very loop I had just finished running. When I got in the car, I posted on Instagram and then opened up Facebook, where I saw a post from the president of our running club. I had a lot of company on the path and very few stretches where I was alone. I finished my run feeling very strong and very happy.
I decided to run there because there are so many runners and cyclists on that loop on the weekends.
In the preserve is a 7.3 mile loop, which is popular with runners. On Saturday, I took my long run to the forest preserve where so many local runners train. My running club is based there, but as I so often do, I took my time in the morning, sipping my coffee and catching up on emails and I missed the start of the group run. Disclaimer: By discussing self-defense weapons here, I am in no way endorsing the use of any of these.
