My son in law works way out in Randal.His parents own the TallTimbers bar,motel and resturant.So he drives all the way from Orting and works as bartender.He usually will stay the night and drive home in the morning.
Last night he decided to drive back at about 3m after closing etc.As he was going through Elby a 1 gas station town ,he past said gas station.As he passed he saw a late 70's pick up turn on the lights an burn rubber after him.The truck came up behind him at a high rate of speed and tried to bump him. Dan (my son in law who a lot of you have met) sped up and tried turning off on different roads.The truck kept following trying to catch him.He said he thought he has no weapon on him to defend himself and he's in the middle of no where.Speeds get to almost 90 as he tried to loose the truck.He was driving their Zion.About 20 minutes in he tried calling the cops.Who said it could be a while as no one was available at the time.
He sometimes has his son ,my grandson with him when he works out their.HE was quite thankfull he didn't this occasion.He kept thinking of their Bersa .380 I gave them which he said he didn't really need to carry. After about 40 minutes Dan came to a very sharp curve he new he could make at high speed in the Zion but this old truck couldn't.So he turned and the truck which was almost on his ass spun out into the ditch..and Dan was able to get home.
My daughter called today and said Dan was pretty shook up because it was more than obvious that this was a dangerous situation.She also had a sense of urgency to go to the range and practice.....So my daughter came down and we went to Champion today ..She also said she would be carrying that .380 in the car from now on .They were always the ones somewhat skeptical...It can't happen to me attitude.The have also a renewed sense of urgency in getting their CPL. No telling what could have happened. And the police had no one they could send.I believe it was an attempted robbery or carjack..They were waiting for a lone driver and when he passed they took off after him.Dan said speeds gotr pretty high and it became apparent withoon a minute that it was a chase..He was pretty shook up..
Never leave yourself unprotected ....
