I need something lightweight, streamlined, and SAFE to carry it in. I was thinking of using this Mountainsmith fanny pack, http://www.amazon.com/Mountainsmith-Lum ... 00QVATVOE#, (same one Nutnfancy uses) with a kydex trigger guard tethered to the inside of the pack.

I was thinking that this setup would solve any concealment issues and would keep anyone from being able to feel that I have the weapon. With that setup, is there any substantial reason to not carry?

Be sure to check whatever organization is providing the insurance for the event. Usually, its done through a national organization that all participants are required to join. Their rules may state no carrying during events as part of being a member. While not 30.06 so it wouldn't be "illegal", they could bar you from any future events should they find out.

I really do think that is important, so I'm going to review the waiver and see if there seems to be anything relevant in it.

Thanks Keith,

That's what I figured. So it looks like my Shield and I will be getting very close and dirty together.

Any thoughts on the carry method? I know I will be cursing the weight, but it is completely worth it.

Thanks for the quick reply!

AFAIK, there are no cash prizes. In fact, there are no "winners". This run is not a race. It is about teamwork and determination to overcome the challenge. So, while there may be people who have done this 10+ times and may be "professional", I do not know that it qualifies for the legal definition.

Howdy guys & gals,

I recently signed up to run a Tough Mudder with two friends. It is a 10-12 mile mud run with 20-25 military-style obstacles (emphasis is heavily on the MUD part). To get a better idea of what all this challenge entails, please take a moment to watch this short video: [video][/video]

I've started training and have that under control, but I wonder about what to do with my S&W Shield 9 EDC. I looked over the CHL Laws and don't know that this necessarily qualifies as a sporting event at which I could not carry. Do I have this wrong?

If I am legal to carry at a Tough Mudder, I need to figure out the right equipment I will need to do it safely. I'm really not concerned with getting my Shield wet and muddy. They are highly reliable weapons and people have put them through more direct abuse than it will take during that run. Also, my carry gun is a workhorse, not a safe queen. I don't get upset over scratches and blemishes.

I would really appreciate any legal issues I may have overlooked, and also any recommendations about carry equipment.

Thanks and Gig'em!
