I like to think that when I'm driving, and not blocked in traffic, the car is the most potent weapon I have. I can do more damage with the car than I can with the pistol, and it can do a lot more to seperate me from a threat.

I positively would not stop and get out without being in the presence of strong reinforcements (police).

I wouldn't start agressive escape maneuvers unless I had to (if he pulled along side and pointed a gun, or tried to run me off the road). I wouldn't want to cause an accident that could hurt myself or others. I would keep moving, drive in circles to verify they were following, and call for help on a cell phone. If I didn't have a cell phone, I might drive to a police station, and keep circling it while leaning on my horn.

The pistol would be useful if I got run off the road or blocked in traffic and he got out of his car and approached. Another scenario would be if I felt obliged to stop and intervene to protect a third party.
