i found this in the news this morning, and since it happened right by where i work it got me to thinking:
what is the best way to handle this?
someone comes up to your car window and sticks a gun in your face, telling you to get out, what do you do? things to consider:
1) at a busy intersection what is your backstop? would you actually be able to fire?
2) you exit the vehicle and as the perp is entering you shoot him in a vulnerable position. is this justifiable?
3) just let the guy have the vehicle and hope for the best?
for me the biggest consideration is shooting the perp throught the window and hitting an innocent in the lane next to you. this situation seems pretty tough considering the split second you would actually have to make a decision.
what do you all think?
