Damn, run with a gun.

She's a New Yorker running in Massachusetts. Not a chance she'd have a gun. Guns are only for the body guards employed by our elite.

Agreed. I am thinking the likelihood of a 27 y.o. New York resident, visiting family in Massachusetts, and having a lawfully-owned handgun that could be legally-carried, and having it so that it could be rapidly deployed while out jogging...is a pretty slim chance. It was over 95* F recently, she was probably in a running singlet and nylon running shorts.

I concur it is not her fault she was victimized. It is challenging to remain in "Condition Yellow" for sustained periods of time, especially for young people who may have never encountered challenging situations prior.
