Pistol Packin Mother Runner?

My husband and I seem to be in disagreement (big shocker) about me running on the highway....some nonsense about my safety and such.  I assured him my lightening speed would get me by???  Really,  if I want to go farther than .8 miles, I have to (a) run on the highway or (b) run through a pasture that will soon be filled with protective momma cows and big ass Sandhills that I'd rather avoid. 

I proposed that the only logical solution is for him to buy me a very small pistol to carry while I run...thus the title of pistol packin mother runner.  Catchy, huh?

Today my husband was a VERY brave man.  Even my Dad said so.  He entered a coyote calling contest with me as his partner.  To some, the coyote may appear cute and loveable.  To a rancher, they are the pain in the ass that eats baby calves, sometimes before they are even fully born.  Therefore, we shoot them.  Take that, PETA. 
 Anyways, only a brave man would spend the entire day with his armed and dangerous wife.   We both came out unscathed.  We even won 2nd place and I rarely never felt the urge to shoot him.  Yay, us!! And I got to wear my rockin She camo for the 2nd time. 
Even after his our huge success (yes, I did shoot one today.....at about 40 yards out:), he was reluctant to accept my pistol packin suggestion.   Naturally, I decided to take matters into my own hands.  To get our winnings tonight, I was stuck in a room full of gun crazed men for over 2 hours.  I innocently mentioned my strategy and within minutes I had tons of suggestions.  I'll soon be hitting Google up for final decision making help.   

Consider this a warning to all the crazies that drive on my rural highway!  I'm soon to be a pistol packin mother runner.  Wait, what the hell does a mother runner pack her pistol in?  I swore off fanny packs a looooonnngg time ago.  Help??!!!

  1. Wade says you must start watching "Sons of Guns" or something on tv. The wife and daughter pack pistols. Maybe you could get an idea from them. :)

  2. American Guns! Thats the one with the women who shoot...we watch that all the time...might be because of the guns. May be because of the hot daugther who only wears spaghetti strap tank tops. Either way.....rock on pistol momma!

  3. We already watch both of those shows! Well, Shane watches and I play on computer. Maybe I better zone in.
