can you carry a figure while doing a running shot?

Yes, but you have to put the figure down and shoot right then.

And because I'm avoiding doing any real work right now, I dug up the quote from the General FAQ (under Running Shot) to support the Funky one:
"Characters using Running Shot still follow standard rules of movement, including break away and the ability to carry other figures. However, a carried figure must be dropped before the character using Running Shot uses the Free Action portion of Running Shot to attack."

So if I have a character with running shot of 8 ( he can move 4 then shoot) he has to drop the figure he is carrying at 1,2,or 3 squares then move the 4th square and shoot?

no, the figure will have to be placed in a square next to your running shot character. The "Running Shot"er cannot drop the fig off during mid "run."

Ok so then the answer is yes he can carry someone while doing a running shot... Thanks all!!
