Yes, folks like you and I can sit here and look at it from a calm and collected place and say "fighting back is dangerous," but if you put yourself in the situation, you can't say that you wouldn't react the same way. And that's just what it is, a reaction. Someone jumps into the car with you, effectively shocking the hell out of you, it would be very easy to have a knee-jerk reaction of just attacking. Its sort of like being bit by a mosquito. Do you run away when that happens? No. You smack it.
Now, on the other hand, if you have enough of your whits about you to actually pull out a weapon, that's an entirely different story. Remember, there is always someone with a bigger stick.

Edit: I seriously doubt your common criminal is going to have a Desert Eagle .50 either. Chances are he gets in and as you get it you grab a pistol and point it back dudes going to bail. If he already has a gun get out and on your way grab your firearm. One shot center mass as you spin back and you'll have a mess to clean but old boy aint going anywhere anytime soon.

Well the AUT eyebrows look very good. But yeh to the person who said that my reaction to the theif was "the dumbest thing ever and a deathwish" I dunno about you but when an unarmed fellow tries to jack my baby, I ain't letting it go. If he was armed and had a gun to my cheek that would be a different story. But I guy thats just armed with his fist, well guess what i have the same weapon araignment so imma use mine too. So i guess since you think its dumb you can let your z get jacked (in the worst case scenario) but just to let you know, i'm still alive, and I still have my Z. 
Yes they are indeed. They finish off the hood. I have pics but don't know how to post them 
We have a meet on the 29th at superautobachs in garden grove at 7:00 pm. If you are interested come down.

I am not anti gun. I have a 12 ga in my closet, but I cant really justify spending 400 bucks on a pistol. If someone tried to jack my car, I would either drive off or let them have it. I got insurance anyhow.

wow....great vid. Just shows how easy it is to do the old "it's not loaded" trick. What a moron that guy was.....speaks volumes for how dim your average cop is.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiit...you want my car take it. I ain't gonna put up a fight. It's why I have insurance. Hell, I'll even wait a couple days to report it stolen. Give ya plenty of lead time to get it to the Long Beach pier!

Now on the other hand, being a guy who thinks guns are cool because of all the CS i play LOL fantasize about the idea of someone trying to take your car and you just icing em. But thats really not how things go down in this world, maybe in the hood, but none of you are living in/participating in the "hood life" so use for a gun in that manner is just silly.

That guy shooting his foot is on www.snopes.com now...
Apparently it's true. They said they dont know if he actually shot himself or just got powder burns.

I dunno, he seemed to be in some pain and unable to hardly put weight on that leg towards the end....not to mention it looked like someone was asking if 911 had already been called and he was saying that yes, his partner was calling.

I'll share the story.
First, let me start off by saying my friends mother died of cancer when he was young. Sad, but nothing that could have been done about it. So he was raised by his father, who never remarried. His dad was basically all he had in the world, and they were very close. His father did contract construction work. Well, one day while on a job site, his father was confronted/robbed by a group of men who were never identified. He attempted to put up a fight, rather than lose his belongings. For his efforts, they beat him to death with a brick.
So naturally, my friend was very devistated.. but life goes on, and he managed. My friend did get himself a gun though, to give him a feeling of safety in a suddenly dangerous world. Luckily his father had a decent life insurance policy, so while nothing could replace him, my friend did get a small windfall of cash. Several months later, my friend was having a particularly bad day, so in an attempt to put him in better spirits, we figured we'd make use of some of his new found wealth and went to a local cadillac dealership and drove off with what had been his dream car (a Diamond White Escalade). He was definately thrilled, it was the happiest I had seem him in quite awhile. It was his dream car, and it was something to remind him of his father.
About a week later, he was sitting at a traffic light. His window was rolled about halfway down, and he was startled by a very drunken mexican who had approached the side of his car, holding what was described to me as "a large rambo type combat knife". The guy attempted to open the door, but it was locked. So he demanded my friend get out of the car, and attempted to reach his arm inside the window. Reacting to what was happening, my friend rolled his window up, so the mexican pulled his arm out. He then proceded to yell a bunch of slurred words my friend couldnt understand, and then bashed the handle of the knife against his drivers side window. The window cracked severely, but didn't actually shatter. The guy then swung for the window again, but the blow never reached. My friend had put two rounds in the guys chest.
He said his only regret was that he stepped out of the car, and put another in the guys head. Not because he felt bad, but because the dead carjackers family tried sueing the crap out of him in civil court. It didn't matter that he had an extremely high BAC, or that there was a warrant out on him for dealing Crystal Meth. They said he used excessive force, etc etc. They tried to claim their relative hadn't actually tried breaking through the window, and that the window had only been broken because my friend shot through it. Luckily he had witnesses who saw the whole thing and testified on his behalf, but in the end he had to spend a very large portion of the money he got from the life insurance on lawyers and what not.
As far as criminal court was concerned, he was justified. When asked about why he had jumped out and shot again, he simply told them that the guy tried to get back up. *shrug*
Now you can say all you want about how guns are bad and we should all go hug a tree, but in the end, I only see two facts
1) If my friend had not had a gun, there is a very good chance he would have been killed, or at least seriously hurt.
2) If his father had been armed, he would probably be alive today.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather be armed knowing I can put up a fight, than put my life in some criminals hands to let them decide if they want to leave a witness lying around or not.
And I'd be interesting in seeing any set ups in your cars for a gun holder or whatever

Your friend is sitting at a traffic light and some wasted guy walks up to the side of his car with a large knife and he just sits there? Why not drive off and call the police? Story makes no sense.
