Why you may need a gun in the car!
Saw this video on Youtube:

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

remember the old credit card ad where it says "...don't leave home without it..."?

Need I say more?

I don't think the video is real.

But there is a reason there are classes on car bjj and car gunfighting. You don't need it, until you need it.

Frank, why do you say that? the scenario is that the "bad guys" took the video to show how cool they were and then the camera was taken from then and the video posted on line. The dynamics of the video seem genuine to me. Even if it is "not real" is there a lesson to be learned or not?

I'm just guessing because the camera work seems far too good to be a redneck holding a camera. I'm guessing, totally could be wrong.
But yeah, there's no shortage of instances where a person gets into a gunfight in their car. Near me in d.c. it is fairly common for carjackings to happen. Oddly common for off duty cops to be the potential victims.
A person who doesn't do some training for car gunfighting will be a fish-with-a-bicycle if he has to gunfight in his car. BJJ in the car is even worse.

Interesting p dog. You don't find interference caused by the seat belt?

Nope wore a full duty belt for 33 years guess I am use to it,

Also a cross draw or shoulder holster works

Then I am fairly slim. I wear a Blackhawk serpa or a pancake 98 percent of the times

Agreed. I tend to favor a cross draw concealed holster for comfort in and out of the car. Most of the time I tend to take the gun out and place it in the door pocket or arm rest if I am driving for a while.

Peter,

in theory one would own the little Ruger 380 that one can carry, undetected, in a front pants pocket. It "prints" like an Apple Iphone 6+...
