Great story from local news.

Steve5115 - curious, did you call and report your encounter?
No, I did not. When he saw that I had a gun in the car he ran away. Totally messed up guy. Screaming at the car in front of me then approached my car with cash in one hand and fists clinched as if to fight. Motioned to him to go away twice as he approached then pulled my gun up as he got to the passenger door. This happened about 6:10 am.

BTW -- I've had the most severe headache all morning. It does cause major stress to have an encounter like that.

Channel2-How to survive a drive-thru robbery

I had to draw my gun this morning at an intersection in the Galleria. Just doing so made the meth head run away. Good info in the below story.

Lesson One:
1. Leave at least 10 feet between you and the car ahead of you, so you can escape
2. Scan the area outside your car, so you are aware of what’s happening around you
3. If you see someone approaching your car, react and drive away, using the space ahead of you to get out
4. Napolitano says the key is to react quickly and without hesitating.

“It’s time to go, go, go. You need to accelerate away from that situation as quickly as possible, putting space between you and the attacker,” Napolitano says.

Lesson Two:
1. If you have a gun in the car or in your purse or on your person, draw the weapon.
2. Point the weapon at the attacker to drive him away.
3. Drive off as quickly as possible.

Jim Napolitano has trained federal agents to escape from the most dangerous situations you can imagine, so he knows what he’s talking about.
