Why should you learn how to shoot while inside your vehicle?

[ProShooter]

Because carjackings and kidnappings happen in small town America, as well as big cities. This woman was pulled from her vehicle in Lone Tree, Colorado and her car was stolen with her 4 year old child inside.

The same is true for shooting in your house. The sound at any time and the flash at night can be difficult if you don't practice for these situations. Got to have a plan!!

Looks like a good capital punishment case to me. Not because he stole the car, that's just stuff. He stole her kid and compounded the problem when he endangered the child when he fled from the police. Add to that the attempted murder of the officer, whether he meant to or not, should give him a free ticket to ride the lightnin'. Just because you suck at killing someone doesn't mean you didn't try. The penalty should be the same either way.

Well, I would like to add... Why a driver should exercise security awareness when in their vehicle. Safe distances, escape routes and head on a swivel while stopped.

Absolutely....and hopefully that will be enough to prevent a UODF situation.

Yeah, I'll never understand why there's a lesser punishment for attempted murder.

Plant your gas foot and rotate your hips. Pretty loud inside a car also.

Tactical holsters got it easy...

How about not leaving your car running with the doors unlocked and your keys and kid in the car when going into the gas station?

And keep your car doors locked when driving around.

One of the drills done at a CMCT Combat Pistol II Course was to start with seat belt buckled and a threat at your window. The threat was less the a foot from the window and we had to talk to the attacker as we undid our seat belt as if we were going for our wallet then pull our weapon instead and shoot the bad guy. We were in was Adam's personal truck which really made you a bit more tense as you were doing the drill. He would not be a very happy camper if we had shot up his truck. I found it was a good drill for modern life in the big city as we see and hear that this type of thing happens all the time. Chris

This times 1000, locked doors and a foot on the accelerator would most likely stop any of these from happening. Unfortunately a lot of people give up way too easily. What, your kids aren't worth fighting for? I see snow on the ground, so were the doors unlocked and window down as well, sheep!

On the other hand, in a Jeep without doors on it's a whole different ballgame, I know this from experience and living near Patterson Pk. for 5 years. The guy who tried it with me is probably in a wheelchair if he hasn't overdosed by now, I sleep just fine at night all the same, @#%& him!

Sucks for lefties, guess gotta practice more weak hand.

Off hand practice is a necessity. We teach concepts about securing the gun elsewhere (other than your holster) in the vehicle while driving. Makes access easier.

In Maryland you just drive a hoopty with an 1/8th tank of gas. Even if they take it they won't get far. What is this shoot from the car you speak of?

Around town traffic driving, mine is usually right under my thigh. A lefty would basically be making a contact shot. Regardless, that left arm has got to get up and grab that guys weapon or palm on the headliner. Way too easy to shoot it.
Had a co worker ventilate a guy with six shots when he was approached in a parking lot while eating something.
Being alert and car position is key. I hate seeing cops sitting somewhere writing reports or something totally oblivious. Scary thought.

How useful is this when most of us are not allowed to strap while driving?

Training is as useful as you make it.

Not that I would ever advocate breaking the law, but I have heard it said that it is better to be tried by twelve than carried by six.

Will you also be practicing without hearing protection?

For what reason?
