RE: What would you do? Today's real life situation #1 - Man gesturing outside your car window before you had time to lock your doors

in #life8 years ago

Great post. It is best to be packing some heat in your car and make a habit to lock doors. You learned a lesson the easy way. A carjacker or robber probably wouldn't talk much. They would be in your car with you fast. There would be no time to lock doors, make noise, or call 911. If your doors are locked and you have a small gun like 9mm you should be fine. I used to sleep with a 380 next to me every night. It was more comforting than a teddy bear or bed time story for sure.

Thank you zhanmusi for your thoughts. There was a time when I carried a 357 with hollow points (before the cell phone age when I was on call as a nurse in a large city) and I was comfortable with its 6 inch barrel. I agree he in hind sight he was likely harmless but it made me realize how fast one can be vulnerable. I do think laying on the car horn in a bad situation is a good repeated visualization to replay even in a carjacking or robbery situation (actually fleeing is better). Please consider following me and I will do same once I figure out how to do so.
