So, another thread made me remember this story. Completely not surf related, but its a crazy, creep, religious van story. So, I am probably about 19 years old. My girl friend and I are driving in Maryland. She lived in Frederick, so we were on the main highway going through town. There was quite a bit of traffic. I am in the right lane, and I see a bunch of commotion on an on ramp ahead of me. I see this blue mini van swerving in and out of traffic, honking at people and running people off the road. So, I move out of the right lane to avoid the oncoming chaos and I notice that I am perfectly in line to basically box this guy in, so I slow down and pay no mind to his crazy behavior. I slow down substantially right before my exit, and I cut over in front of him and take the exit. About 10 seconds later, I am at a dead stop, in traffic. There is no one in the lane next to me. All of the sudden, I look over and see this f'ing van.... I look over, and it is some middle eastern guy, screaming and yelling. I can't hear him because my windows are up. Next thing I know, this guy picks up a Machete and started waving it around inside the van. I look at my girlfriend like, WTF? and I put my arms in the air, basically the reaction if you are being robbed or a cop tells you to freeze... The guys rants and rants a little more, then he squeels out, runs a red light, and got back on the highway... I pulled over at a police station like a mile up the road and I decide, I would usually never talk to a cop, but this guys could hurt someone. So I tell the cop my story... He just stares at me, basically thinking I made this up... And he is like sure kid. What did the van look like? I said, it was a blue mini-van, chryster, proabably like an early nineties model... Didn't see the plates on it, but the guy had an "I LOVE JESUS" sticker on the back.... True Story.... Creepiest Van I ever did see.... Almost got hacked to pieces for messing with the guy. Life lesson. Don't fu** with people you don't know. Even on the road. Second creepiest was when I was in Towson. A white van with no windows rolled up on me and some friends walking to get beer on the late night. These guys asked me how to get to the Washington Monument. I said, dude, you are in the wrong city.... They kept circling around the area and we saw them a few times. We were all convinced that dudes in masks were going to jump out on us.... They eventually left without incident, but I did feel bad a few months later when I realized there is a smaller, "washington monument" in downtown Baltimore.... They were just tourists probably, but the white van is just an instant turnoff.
Reason # 341 why I never leave home without one 8 rounds of 124gr speer golddot JHP > Machete. In the life game of rock, paper, scissors....gun always wins.

I find it a shame that vans are typically the vehicle of choice for psychos. Upon purchasing a mid 90s panel van, I found myself more popular at my place of employment. The jokes continue to fly daily 5 months later. I also find myself able to carry a few boards, climbing gear, bikes, enough food and water to takeoff for a few weeks and not look back. Before the van I blended in to the rest of society, regular job, regular car, no one noticed me. Now its a whole different story, even got pulled over in my own driveway a few weeks ago, "just to be checked up on" It's really been great.
'the judge' sure has new jersey in a tizzy. but come to think of it every gun and gun issue gets new jersey in a tizzy. but were i to buy into a tizzy it might be about 'the judge' cause if thats in your pocket and you're hurling 00 buck you just won the argument.
Many people have died with guns in their hands. There are no guarantees. "When I go driving, I stay in my laaaaane." Regarding creepy vans, once mine get all muddy and gnarly from the mosh pit, they stay in the garage. Spiders live in them, and I have to check them before I do yard work. Very creepy.
Check out the 3-speed for shorts/sweats/gym clothes. I can carry a p229 no problem in one, and that's a heavy ass gun. They look awkward, but super comfy.
