The year was 1976, in Houston TX. I was 18. Was driving a Green briar Chevy sation wagon, 350 V-8.
Weapon sawed off to 18.5 inch Mossberg 3" 12 ga pump. Loads 3" Winchester #1 buck, 24 pellets per load.
Situation:
I was leaving a friends house @ 2 AM, we had just finished putting his motor back together and got his car running.
The road is in the middle of old farm land and is atleast 6 feet taller than the fields. No road lights and dark. The road goes from 4 lanes to 2 which are barely wide enough for two cars. Vehicle aproaches from rear rapidly overtacking me, then goes to the right lane just as the road narrows and tries to force me into the ditch. I was watching but was expecting him to pass on the left as speeders liked to do at this bottleneck but he tried the right and made a good effort to run me off the road. Any way I made it to the left and slowed down by breaking hard which took him past me. I quickly see two men in the 4 door sedan as it zooms past, I see all 4 eye balls as they go by. At this point I get an extreme feeling that this is not a normal misshap. Cant explain why just a sudden cold feeling in the chest.
I knew that about a quarter mile ahead this road turns sharply to the right where it dead ended into a 6 lane blvd with a red light. I knew it could be a great ambush point. Sharp turn to prevent backing out, steep and deep ditches to stop side ways movement and angle car to prevent you from going forward.
So I pulled my sawed off 18.5" mossberg out and pumped a round into the chamber and placed it beside me on the seat. Sure enough when I turn that corner they are waiting with the car angle across the road. As I stop, the passenger leaps from the car and starts towards me.
At that point every thing slowed down and my vision narrowed to include just the advancing man and the driver side door. I bring the pump gun up under my arm pit as it is to long to shoulder, line up the man in the open and take the travel out of the trigger just short of firing the gun. My mind has race ahead and decided to shoot when either of 4 things happened.
1- He produced a weapon
2- He reaches my right front bumper
3- If He crosses between cars to fire when he lines up with the driver side of his car.
4- If the driver appeared.
As the trigger slack is coming out of the shot gun the advancing man sees me bring the shot gun up, dives in the right rear window and as far as I know they are still swerving down that road.
This altercation brought home some important lessons to me.
Bad things happen quickly be prepared and listen to your gut feelings.
A large visible weapon can change the Bad Guys minds.
Every one stay safe and hope my story helps people.
