    Keep us informed after your first outing running down the street in Tac gear goes.

    have you done it Bob? If not, this is not your place to give advice then.

    OP: To make it easier on you if you do get any harassment from the bicyclists, leave the mags & knives off of it.

    With everything that has happened in the past few months, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that running down the street in an urban area wearing Tactical Gear is not a very smart idea.

    Now, out there in BFE Weld County, I'm sure the livestock and other barnyard critters could care less what you wore while running down the dirt roads.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    Again, if you have NO EXPERIENCE with this, then you are just talking out your ass so I'll clue you in. A guy doing PT in running gear with a vest on is not an indicator or red flag for police, especially if he really wants to make it obvious by wearing his reflective belt on his gear to let them know he is excercising and not running away from a scene. Do you honestly think the OP was going to wear full gear including ACU's, vest, boots, holster, helmet, etc... and go running like mad through the middle of the streets? I've run through downtown Ft. Collins, Loveland, Denver, and other cities across the country with my vest for various events as well as just doing PT without any issues.

    Bob, do us all a favor and come back when you've acquired some sense and experience.

    And just who the FUCK are you to tell me what to or not to voice my opinion on any subject ?
    You do not know me or know my experiences.
    And just what the hell got your panties in a bunch ? Did you miss your meds today ? Take a chill pill.

    The OP asked for information on a subject from either experience of proof; not assumptions, speculation, or other forms of verbal diahrrea. You provided only the latter.

    OP, sorry for the derail. Enjoy your runs!

    Default what could go wrong?

    I'd throw on a huge reflector vest (whatever size will fit over your gear) and that should be enough to let it be known you're not trying to storm the USPS.
