Are you really going to take your eyes off that person long enough to make that call?


I disagree with the others about the horn. In my opinion, its there for a reason but you don't have to use it all the time.

Depending on the vehicle you drive, you may not have to take your eyes off of him. My phone button is on my steering wheel. I THINK (haven't tried it yet) that I could call 911, keeping my eye on the guy and get to my gun without making discernable moves in the driver's seat. Something to practice, I guess.

The OP describes a very scary incident. And now I'm going out to my car to practice the "call police" feature through Sync. I'm not actually going to dial of course. But the only way I'm going to remember how to do it in an emergency is if I practice the steps until they're ingrained.

Thanks for the reminder.

I heard a news report about a teenager getting killed in Houston recently when someone pulled up beside them at a red light, proceeded to yell at them and then opened fire. The kid died in his teenage girlfriend's arm. How senseless!
