Bass Angler Murdered At Boat Ramp

[AQUA VELVA]

Iv'e been in situations at various boat ramps very early in the morning  where people in a car were parked. No boat, no trailer just sitting in a car watching me. There were times when it made the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I left and went to a different lake. Some launch sites are very secluded and it makes you realize how vulnerable you could be to someone with evil on their mind. Sadly, just one more reason to carry.

Such a sad state of affairs.  I'm sure he was look forward to a wonderful day with nature and a low life had another plan.  You just never know what could happen these days.  Even our police are targets.  Conceal carry is looking better and better.  God bless his family and loved ones during this difficult time.  I am so sorry for their loss.
