Another good one.
Probably gets sued for injuries and then can't work. Love the injustice of a justice system lol.
Another good one.
Or the IDF that carry unloaded in the chamber.The “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!
Sounds good if you could figure out how to turn it on remotely from outside the car. Otherwise, figure out the best way to get a trackable GPS in the car.Would a aftermarket " panic button" that BLASTED" a booming message be a way to counter car jackings?
Never said anything about a firefight. Owning a firearm takes a lot of responsibility, maturity, and respect. This isn’t an old black and white western. You have to respect the firearm. If you’re not proficient in your shooting accuracy, or if you tremble at the sight of a firearm, then no, you shouldn’t even be anywhere near a firearm.
All valid points. I think it would be more effective if there were a delay in activation. Let bad guy get around the corner with the car before it goes off and discourages him from staying inside.
I could see liability being an issue. "My innocent client who only borrowed the car because he was so deperate to get to the college so he could enrol and turn his life around, lost control due to the noise and that's why the pedestrian is dead."
That’s a more workable/safer concept. Sort of like remotely disabling an iPhone. They drive off, you “brick” the car remotely, when you’re safe.Wouldn't it be more efficient to have tha engine stall after a minute, and not restart? pretty sure they won't hang around and in a minute they are too far to run back towards the victim.
I have no problem giving "them" the car.Just a point to consider in regards to protecting yourself with a firearm on the street. Most of the states that show the highest carjacking and violent crime rates, are also the least friendly in regards to private citizens carrying and using firearms for self defense.
If you do have to drop someone because they tried to jack you, it's more than likely not going to go well for you from a legal standpoint. An overly aggressive prosecuting attorney, attached to an anti gun administration, can and most likely will make your life a living hell legally, as well as financially.
As much as it goes against everything I believe, give them the car. It will most likely end up being cheaper for you, as opposed to dropping the guy with a legally carried firearm.
It is the right of every American to bear arms...having said that...do I think everyone should own a gun...no...I don't think everyone should have a license to drive either.Very good points. It used to practically be a given, years ago, that a gun owner had maturity and a high level of responsibility. Of course, the criminal does not. What also scares me is the number of recent new gun owners and the attitudes of some of them. I have several longtime friends of varying closeness that have become first time firearm owners in the past several years. Partially for home protection but also largely because they fear extremists. All have had previous lifetime opposition to gun ownership at some level. All basically good people but I know their somewhat elitist attitudes. Due to a general attitude of not needing to learn anything or to respect the danger, they are a threat in their own. There are millions of new gun owners. Some will get it right and some will not. The ones that I know went right to autoloader pistols, which I've always advised against for neophytes.
I agree with everything you just said. But if that same person were to successfully defended themselves by shooting, and perhaps killing their assailant, They are most likely going to have an even worse time living through the event.I have no problem giving "them" the car.
The issue for some, especially a woman, is the PTSD and other risks/ issues that may come from a carjacking. A carjacking for some, may leave a lifelong scar on a person. I am not a psychotherapist by any means but am married to one. I have learned from her is when someone is abused in one form or another, deep damage to the at times occur.
A 60-year-old woman coming homing at 2pm on a Tuesday from shopping at Target and gets a guy putting a gun in her face, throws her in the street. Her phone and purse still in the car. In a city where she knows not a sole. Maybe that 60-year-old woman never leaves the house again. More at stake for some than just the loss of a vehicle.
This is a very difficult topic to address and appears to have no easy, one size fits all answer. Thinking a little differently on this, who or what organization would be the best to answer these questions?I have no problem giving "them" the car.

Sometimes super deep emotional damage.

After a violent carjacking, the loss of the vehicle may be the easiest issue to deal with. Some, especially an older woman, many never recover from a violent crime.
My wife is a sheep, but don't get into a challenging conversation with her. You will come out short....Boils down to a person being a sheep or a wolf. Pretty simple.
Sounds like a bull inside of a china shop if you ask meMy wife is a sheep, but don't get into a challenging conversation with her. You will come out short....
She is a psychotherapist. Master at listening, and then cleaning ones clock if she believes certain things are not being done, like being empathetic or ethical, etc. I learned years ago to leave my mouth shut and avoid answering certain questions. She does 99 percent of her work pro Bono.Sounds like a bull inside of a china shop if you ask me
Well, that's good for you, can the average person become a licensed personal protection officer in a couple hours, practicing a couple times a year? Probably not... and half the people are below average... Why do people bother hiring personal protection? They could just train and wear 3 guns themselves everydayActually yes, we both do. She and I are licensed and trained personal protection officers. But that’s beside the point. I know CA is not a firearm friendly country, so I’m guessing most of not all citizens there are allowed to own firearms. Or am I totally wrong?
Responsible US citizens have the constitutional right to bear arms (unless you have a criminal record of course).
