Re: Defining moments - what made you decide to carry?
My husband was probably one of the first to get a CHL in Texas. I had no problem with that, just didn't see the need for one myself...he could take care of me, yes? In late 1995, I was returning to Pt Neches from my mother's home just the other side of Lake Charles. My eight-year-old son was with me. If you've ever driven between Sulphur and Vinton, you know there's nothing there but road. I check all mirrors regularly while driving, and when I was in the middle of nowhere, a white Ford truck right behind me flashed headlights...I kept driving...a few minutes later headlights flashed again...I know no one with a full-grown white Ford truck. I was coming up on several vehicles, decided to put some between me and the truck. When I took the Hwy 62 exit off I-10, a full-grown white Ford truck was on my back bumper. He (?) turned on to Hwy 62 and followed for 100-200 yards, then did a Uturn and headed back north. When I got home, slightly shook, I announced that I was getting a CHL, and proceeded to do so. From that day to this, no one I know has ever come up and said they were behind me in a white Ford truck that day, so I can only presume that the driver had some nefarious plan which, fortunately, did not come to pass.
