crack the window where the dog is and tell the carjacker....you sure you want me to open the door?Take a Doberman or two with you everywhere. It's like a four legged Glock. Rottweiler and Belgian Malinois have similar results!

Keep the car doors locked and the windows up.It will do nothing. Carry a gun, leave plenty of room between the car ahead of you, and don't open the door or stop for anyone. Run them over and take your chance in court.
All the more reason to become proficient with a firearm. You aren't going to be safe by just not looking at people.You do realize there are a lot of fruitcakes out there that LEGALLY own firearms, I"m sorry but I don't want to live in the Wild West. I've already stopped making eye contact with strangers because I know that's enough to set some off and you never know who's packin'.
Has this changed in recent years? I would have guessed that the Seattle-Tacoma area was really safe.Just for comparison, Neighborhood Scout has crime rankings on their website. On a scale of 1 to 100 with 100 being the safest,

Even though I haven't shot any of my pistols in while I have many rounds run thru them, at one time I was into reloading .357/.38 and went to a local range a couple times a month until they closed it. They are strategically located around my house do to my wife's job, she helps prosecute bad people and I've always feared one day one would show up.All the more reason to become proficient with a firearm.

Thanks, my Wife can't drive a stick shift. She is awesome, much smarter than me (and much, much better looking than me- I over married), and she has incredible talents to include the ability to counsel parents who lost a child, etc.Get a stick shift and let the cards fall where they may.

My wife had a conference in Seattle in 2007 and I tagged along. At no time did either of us feel at all unsafe. Perhaps we were stupid and lucky.

Self-defense, proactive scanning for threats, etc. is not in her skill sets. She will never be pulling a trigger on a handgun. Possibly hitting a panic button may work for her- the consensus here is that will not stop a carjacker.
I am credentialed to carry a handgun. I almost never did unless a special requirement. After an incident in Eastern Washington when I was parking a Penske 26 foot moving truck at a Courtyard by Marriot, I adjusted my mindset and often have protection at the ready.I’d say 99.9% and 3/4 of those cockroaches aren’t proficient with a firearm. Get her a handgun she can comfortably handle and teach her how to use it with impeccable accuracy.
Proficient licensed handgun carriers diffuse these types of situations pretty much 100% of the time.
For years my Wife would lock me out when I would take out the garbage. She is always checking doors to be locked, etc. But tactical driving or a stick shift is not a match for her ever.windows up
don't open the door
leave space to escape
oh yeah - and #1
Drive a manual transmission!
I can leave the car running and go in and get whatever and ain't nothing moved but there is nose marks on the window.crack the window where the dog is and tell the carjacker....you sure you want me to open the door?
I take them over to see my mom everyday. Partly retired and partly PRN for a pharmacist. Got house paid, cars paid and yes I did follow the Dave Ramsey radio show program.Do you work and if so, do you take your dog(s) to work?
PA systems are sweet!Always wanted a train horn and PA system on my car...
Funny how some think they'd "win" in that situationThe “carry gun” as a preventative to carjacking has the problem thsst most carjackers appear with their gun in hand an pointed AT you!
If you then GO FOR YOUR GUN? He has ample time to shoot you to protect HIS life. Isn’t that what you would do in his shoes?
Only TV heroes can out-draw a trigger pull!
