Hi guys,
Trying to figure out a solution for my brother... He's a distance runner (runs marathons etc). He runs every day, usually leaving around 5:30am. He had a strange encounter yesterday on the Thun Trail (about 4 miles east of Reading, PA), an area that used to be safe. (there was an incident where 3 thugs jumped an older gentleman 2 years or so ago, sadly for them he was carrying, 1 dead, 1 shot in the neck 1 ran away, old man was unhurt and DA refused to release the old man's name)
Now, here's my problem, he has a wife and 2 young sons at home, and telling him not to run there is pointless (I know... :rolleyes: )
Now, the funny and ironic part, he and his wife are both democrats, however they do keep an M&P 9mm in the house and they both can shoot.
I am trying to come up with a viable and lightweight CCW option for him that he can use while running. Something that won't be a nuisance. I am going to have to sell this whole thing to him. Anyone have any thoughts on what works? Anything anyone has tried?
Thanks!
Will
