    Default Question for those who carry a gun in the car

    Two scenarios..

    One.. you're stopped at a red light blocked in from the front and another car pulls beside you, the passenger gets out and walks over to your door and tells you to get out of the car while showing you a pistol but it is not pointed at you, what are you going to do?

    The second scenario is the same but the pistol is actually pointed at you. Just curious..

    shit son, you better step it up and drop that 9 and get at least a .40!

    tests and studies have shown that you can take multiple hits with a 9mm before going down.....1 hit with a .40 is usually plenty to take the person down.

    you can get a Smith & Wesson SWSV40E (their copy of a GLOCK) for under $300 brand new at any gun show. I bought two, just for the hell of it because they were so cheap, and they fire perfectly. Trigger is a little heavy, but other than that, a solid performer. I've put about 2000rnds thru both, and they've fired the cheapest of ammo with no problems....my old rutger was a piece....it would never fire walmart ammo...always jammed....but with the SWSV40E's no sweat. Disassembly and cleaning are a breeze, because there's only like 4-5 parts....

    Regardless, you never shoot to wound in a two person set up. You can't watch both people so there is a greater chance of you getting killed. First guy that comes up if you can, head shot, he is down no need to worry and you can focus on the second guy or try getting away. Your life is worth more at that point than wounding someone and them possibly killing you. Think about your family if they are with you or not, you would not want them to be with out you in either case.

    If you aren't going to shoot to kill, why don't you just give him a hug and tell him his father still loves him?

    If the situation requires it.

    The situation(both of them) involves a gun and someone who is pointing it at you or threatening you with it. How exactly do you know if the situation requires it.

    You dont.

    If I am being threatened with my life, you better belive he is going to lose his before mine.

    So as the little smiley says thats a big fuck you right back at ya

    wrong.
    you never "shoot to kill"
    talking like that will get you in jail for murder dumbass.

    you shoot to stop the threat. be it by a double tap to the chest or however you want.

    Your an idiot.

    Shooting to stop the threat means death. Till he is dead the threat still exist period.

    Two to the chest one to the head, repeat untill threat does not exist.

    well, if I was at a traffic light and stopped and there was no traffic going in any direction, I'd probably run the light....if there was traffic and no one behind me, I'd throw it in reverse and punch it. In any case, I know for a fact that I wouldnt have had my gun locked and loaded and pointed at person before he fired at me seeing me reach for it.


    but if I had to run thru the intersection, I'd probably go up about 100yds and then stop and reach for my gun and unload the first clip into his car, and then load up the second one and get ready for him.

    if I had to backup, same thing, I'd go about 100yds and unload about a clip into the car, and have the second mag ready for him.

    my gun is stuffed between myseat and my center console in a soft case, so it's pretty close, but I'd still make it a point to put some distance between myself and the attacker.

    Did you guys see that police chase in California just recently?

    Dude was running from the cops, got out of his car to jack another car, held the other car at gun point, and the other guy just floored it.

    Damn, I'm not going to say its useless to carry a gun in the car because there are other scenarios but some people are so bold it seems like it would just aggravate the situation even more. I've been doing some reading and in most carjackings the gun is mainly used to persuade, as if to say the carjacker really wouldn't use the gun.

    I remember here in college park there was a cop that was carjacked in his driveway, he ended up dying but he was also able to shoot one of the carjackers as they tried to get away.

    if the gun is pointed at me i would let them take the car... if the gun wasnt i would pull my gun... but i don't know in the heat of the situation i may pull no matter what... just b/c you give the guy your car doesn't mean you aren't going to get shot... so like they always say a good defense is a good offense

    In the first scenario if my gun was easily accessible then I would shot to kill (read headshot) the guy closest. Odds are after I shot the other guy will run, but if not blast him as he is getting out of the car. Seeing as how I drive a bone stock civic I don't think I have to worry.

    Second scenario, they can have it.

    Does self defense hold up in court if you shoot though? Not criticizing what you've said, its just something that has been on my mind lately.

    yes, in the state of GA, if you are being car jacked, you are authorized to protect your property at your discretion.

    It isn't the property that you are protecting so much. Read up on the law. You are allowed, but not really for reasons of protecting your property. It is to prevent a felony or to keep yourself (or a passenger) safe.

    16-3-23.
    A person is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to prevent or terminate such other´s unlawful entry into or attack upon a habitation; however, such person is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if:
    (1) The entry is made or attempted in a violent and tumultuous manner and he or she reasonably believes that the entry is attempted or made for the purpose of assaulting or offering personal violence to any person dwelling or being therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the assault or offer of personal violence;
    (2) That force is used against another person who is not a member of the family or household and who unlawfully and forcibly enters or has unlawfully and forcibly entered the residence and the person using such force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry occurred; or
    (3) The person using such force reasonably believes that the entry is made or attempted for the purpose of committing a felony therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the commission of the felony.

    A. Headshot? This isn't like the video games. You go for center mass in the chest. You can EASILY miss a "headshot" in real life. You go for the biggest target.

    B. You'd go to jail for killing the second guy if he wasn't armed and didn't pose a threat to you.
