You'll notice that I too jumped on the "screw carrying a gun on your lap" bandwagon.
![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
But I think that if you're in a position where you can't draw while belted in, having a car gun secured in a holster or center console could greatly benefit you. If it's out of sight, the cop won't notice when he stops you.Someone made a good comment WRT to "driving away". Cars don't move away as fast as you'd like - particularly if you stomp on the gas in a panic...
In the scheme of a trigger finger pulling (let's say 200-400mS from eye-ball of perp seeing (or ear hearing) car move) the car won't get very far before his bullet leaves the gun...
Seems to me if you are going to drive away, it needs to be pretty early in the process before he has you sighted in (though you get some wiggle room if he is using Nyte Syteshe will likely miss you anyway...)
PM sent.

Glad you're safe
Late jumping in here, but glad to hear you got out all right. Don’t blame yourself for this incident or any future crimes these bag guys might commit. The feelings you are experiencing are not unlike post traumatic stress and should be handled as such.
My opinion is that people should carry in whatever way is safe and comfortable for them. What works for me may not work for everyone else. When I drove in Iraq and Afghanistan I would tuck my pistol under my left leg. I made sure that I practiced drawing and dry firing from this position as to avoid getting my weapon jammed up in the interior of the door and to ensure that I kept my body clear of the weapon. Fortunately, I never had to fire my weapon from this position. I also had the advantage of having other soldiers with rifles and crew serve weapons in the vehicle.... not often a luxury one could expect in a Mercedes.
I feel you made the best decision to get the heck out of there rather than try and shoot it out. Usually this is the safest option. It sounds like if you had drawn in this two on one scenario you may have been slightly slower than your opponent in drawing your weapon, located in a lower (harder to defend) position, out numbered, out gunned and potentially stuck in a kill zone. Any gunfight you can get away from and live is a good one… even if you never fire a shot.
Glad you’re safe.

Glad you survived without injury. I always wondered if I was just being paranoid when I would put my holstered sig in the drink holder between my seats. I guess it was a better idea than I had realized.

No, wife does the Euro stuff...
Mustang with some "enhancements"
i have a mustang as well:

Thankfully you are ok.
Thanks for sharing this story. Let's hope it never happens to you, or us, ever again. It does illustrate why it is better to have a gun and not need it, then need a gun and not have it.

Okay, so you graduated in 2009 and back in 2007 you had ( or have ) a custom tribute mustang. Looking on the You Tube clip, you also worked for the company that built it and it was $95K.
So, either you are a very wealthy young man, and all credit to you if this is the case, or someone with a very serious Walter Mitty issue.
Sorry, but this dog don't hunt ...

What'd the perps look like?
looks like Redding to me... what shop built it?
Thank God you are alive, it maybe a good thing you did not do anything. The law always seems to be on the side of the bad guy. You may have ended up doing time for defending yourself. I will start to carry more often now.

I'm still waiting on that as well.
Perhaps the OP, or someone should E-mail this thread to the NRA, I can;t imagine they would not be interested in this dramatic event...
I think that's a great suggestion Mark.
the thread started up again 'cause the OP posted a link of his mustang. i'm not sure what the delay was.
Oh, so we went from a "dude almost shot me and sped away" thread to a "I got a Mustang" thread? Brilliant...

Don't forget this is no ordinary Mustang... price tag of about $95K.
sniff, sniff... what's that smell???
