OK let's play a situation based on something that really happened to me.
You are armed with a S&W .38 Special Airweight in a backpocket holster loaded with +P Glasiers and a brand new CCW permit less than two weeks old.
You are coming out of a store. It is after dark but the parking lot is well lit and while not busy, is not deserted either. As you approach your vehicle a young man comes out suddenly from between the cars. He approaches and asks for a ride. He says he has missed his ride home. He does not look too rough or crazy but you get that feeling all may not be right.
You;
1. Tell him "No way. I am in a hurry!" and walk to your car.
2. Tell him "Sure, come on. My car is over here."
3. Go back into the store until he goes away.
In my case I chose #1.
The young man closes the distance between you and insists on a ride. You try and place the car between him and you and explain you don't have time. At this point the young man rapidly produces a medium sized, silver revolver from his coat pocket and points it directly at you.
He says "OK MUTHER F*CKER I will just take the car! Give up your keys or else!"
You;
1. Duck behind the car and try to draw.
2. Slowly produce the keys and throw them on the hood of the car.
3. Start running, screaming for help and hope he panics and gives up.
In my case I chose #2.
After throwing the keys on the hood you start backing up, hands by your side (near your weapon) and say. "Take the car man, It's not worth dying for." He responds by approaching the car as you back up. By the time you get to the back of your car he still has the gun on you. But as he reaches for the keys he pockets the gun! Just as you feel the immediate danger is almost over he announces he wants your wallet as well.
You;
1. Take the opportunity to turn and run like a deer.
2. Say "Sure buddy" and draw your weapon.
3. Try to tackle him while the gun is in his pocket.
In my case I chose #2.
When he looks up and sees your weapon the guy freezes. You feel your finger tighten on the DAO trigger and at this distance you know you can wear him out before he can draw again. You give the command for him to drop the keys and put his hands on the car. Suddenly he bolts and runs leaving your keys on the ground.
You:
1. Thank God for low carjacker I.Q.'s.
2. Call the police
3. Pickup your keys and go home.
I did all three.
