A guiding principle for me is that I assume any threat will be executed; I expect an aimed firearm to fire immediately. I will take whatever action is possible to eradicate or escape from the threat. In the case of someone aiming at me sitting in my car, I will NOT assume that he just wants my car. I WILL assume he's pointing that thing because he will kill me.

I will go with my split-second decision---what else can anyone do?. If I can move my car, maybe I will haul a**. If my car's jammed in between a bus and a truck, maybe I will blast the threat. My black Glock 21 will be resting on the black passenger seat and can be grabbed and fired pretty quickly.
