Without question, there are situations where you would not want to draw your weapon. In this case, the officer is in a vehicle and then the perps. force their way into it. First rule of survival for women (or men for that matter) is: NEVER get into a vehicle with a BG. So, she's got that going against her already, regardless of how it happened.

The fact that they didn't remove her from the vehicle.. tells me that big trouble lay in store for her. After all, they were not there to take her to a surprise party, (at least...not one she's going to like).

I am sure she did not relish the idea of trying to get to her weapon without being shot. I also think she knew in her heart, that this situation was going to have bad ending if she didn't try.

+1 seems to me she was between a rock and a hard place. Either attempt to shoot now as the situation was unfolding or risk being assualted/killed later when the BGs had driven off with her and were more in control of the situation.
