Who the hell goes running with their wallet?
Always have it on me. If I ever live in a city where I leave my wallet at home when running because I might be attacked, it is time to move.

Man, what neighborhoods do you gun-nuts live in? Why so paranoid?
Don't you know that the key to not getting robbed is leaving all valuables at home. Once a thug finds out you only have your cell phone they politely thank you for your time and move on to the next most vulnerable target.

Usually it's the nicer neighborhoods that have some of your hoodie friends coming to stop by for a visit...they ain't there to see relatives.
OP, like shorty recommended, an LCP/LC9 is probably the type of gun you want for running/jogging.
I'd recommend an OC spray more than a gun as then you have dogs covered too.
Almost anything bulky makes jogging/running not so enjoyable.
As far as carrying it a fanny pack is the go-to choice. As a guy I am usually running shirt-less and unless I want to wear baggy shorts a gun is going to show in almost any IWB type of holster and even in baggy short it wouldn't be totally concealed.
Realistically though, what would you do in that situation presented earlier other than going rambo?
If you had drawn your weapon someone one else would probably have done the same or just suckerpunched you from behind.
I kind of do understand what you mean though, I've only been in Florida for about 6-7 months now and I've already had to deal with this shit a few times. Can't wait to leave.
Ironically how its always the same race that does it, you would think the rednecks would give me the biggest problems (I'm brown) but they're often the nicest people you meet.
Funny story though, I was taking a female friend of mine out for dinner, we were on our way back at a light with my windows down and this dude on a bike (pedal not motor) was trying to get her out of the car and to go back to his place, wtf? He started trying to open my doors and trying to talk through my sunroof when I rolled the windows up. Hell the only reason I didnt run him over once the light turned green was that I cared more about my paint job than I did about that.
Stay classy florida.

not to mention having nothing to offer a criminal that's already commited to robbing someone ends up bad for the victim a lot of the time.
Dogs really aren't suited for long distance running on paths people choose.
LOL at oakland. You guys have some latino gang problems, and gang on gang violence, but yeah I also wouldn't have any issue jogging down broadway among the businesspeople crowd at 7pm either.
Watch the video below, tell me this is the first time this robbing crew has done this:

If your wife was raped by a couple of thugs would you want her name and story all over the papers?
The police departments don't publicly post up when these things happen. It's up to the family whether or not the media runs a story, which is (unfortunately, imo) rarely the case.
I used to keep up with local news sites that would report stuff similar to this happening in my (albeit large) city at least 3-4 times a year.
What are you going to do with a gun on you? Get shot while reaching for it?
...The one with the less tolerant, open-minded, and empathetic people.
The one with the most differences. People inherently look down on others who are different. It's why kids make fun of other kids in school. It's just part of the human condition. A group with wide-varying differences will, all other things being equal, usually have more conflict than a completely homogenous group.
I'll put it to you this way:
1 group is made up of 10 Christians.
The other group is 2 Christians, 2 Jews, 2 Muslims, 2 Hindus, and 2 Druids.
All other pertinent factors are equal. Which groups is going to have more conflict?
Um...I don't carry anything and haven't had a single incident in 25 years. Joggers don't carry valuables.
.. what kind of idiot would rob them?
Some people can't afford to not live in the hood.
