Sometime in the early 90's A friend of mine ...I'll call him Vern since that is his name. left work from the airport in Madera, California to go home for lunch. He typically went to the airport exit to get back on the 99 freeway south to his house. This day he spied a car with the hood up near the north on ramp. Always a guy yo lend a hand he went over with his pickup to see if he could help. The stranded guy then shot him three times with a 38 in the lower torso, yanked him out of the pickup and drove off leaving Vern for dead. Luckily he was spotted by friends also going to lunch and the 911 protocol followed. Vern was able to give a description and all that and they caught the guy near Weed. The Highway patrol actually drove Vern's pickup back. Unusual. He still has that worthless Chevy today. Vern then went through the Concealed Carry process and was quite the Concealed Carry Advocate when I met him in '97. He is the one that set me on the CC path. He was carrying a S&W J-frame for a long time , now it is a KelTec P-3AT.
I have not called him in a long time.... Now would be good.
