I lost a very good friend 3 years ago this upcoming gun opener that way. I got the call that morning from the sheriff, I was the first one they could get in contact with. My name and # was in his wallet. He left behind 2 young kids and alot of great friends. I don't want to see this happen to any of you or your family and friends. Be safe y'all.

Again thanks alot Chickenman.
