Denny is a good man and what happened to him was not his fault. But a situation like his brings something to the clear maybe.
The op says...
If I'm driving a 18 wheeler and "a mob" tries to stop me I can stop, get my "bridge the gap" weapon and try for a shoot out, or I can keep on driving. That vehicle is a much more effective weapon they any gun I could have on or near me.
If any such should occur to me then I'd rather have a handgun than a carbine with me as I try to drive. From inside a vehicle a handgun is much easier to move around than an M4 or a AK pistol or some such.
When Don says:
He's a bit off but maybe closer to the mark of truth than some.
It's good to plan and good to have a vehicle that can help get you out of a number of kinds of trouble. No Mini Cooper's for me. Also nothing that attracts too much attention from the cops or folks who might want to break in looking for guns or goodies.
It's common to be stopped by the cops. Not true that angry mobs are common. Coin toss as to which is more dangerous.

To me, a “car gun” bridges the gap between a routinely carried concealed weapon and a full-fledged battle weapon.

I think that the idea of a gang attacking you in your car is really going over the hill with paranoia!
