Re: Drive By-WWYD?

Yep. Back when I was a kid on the farm, I accidentally shot out the drivers window of our farmhands truck. It was a BB gun, and it was just with one pump. I wasn't aiming for it, and it was an accident, but the window shattered and collapsed like a waterfall nonetheless.

As for the drive-by situation, my first reaction is going to be to duck and cover if at all possible while in the act of drawing my weapon. If the car is still going, I'll be going in the opposite direction after getting a good look for description. If they're stopped or their intention appears to be to engage, then I weight my options.

Honestly, if someone pulls up next to me with a gun pointed my way while I'm driving, I don't know what I would do. Obviously, I would try and get the heck out of dodge if the way was clear as they clearly have the drop on me. By the time I reached and drew my weapon, I'd probably be toast, so if possible, I'm clearing out. If I'm locked in traffic, I guess I just do the best I can not to become a victim. It's for those type of scenarios that I've recently switched to appendix carry on occasions when I'm driving, but it's not ideal for all situations/carry weapons.

What are y'alls strategies for being prepared as far as access to your firearm while driving?
