I didn't pay attention to the street names, my knowledge of Baltimore geography sucks. I'll ask tomorrow. She was navigating by GPS, trying to find a location she'd never been to previously and Garmin gave her an interesting route. Where did this happen? I'm there all the time.

I have access to my firearm in that scenario, but if I could avoid a shootout from a coffin, that would be my first choice.

Somewhat related:
About 6 years ago now, I tried to take a shortcut in Norfolk, VA. Traffic was always shitty in front of the Wal-Mart, I figured I would cut through the neighborhood behind it and save some time. As I drove, and came around a corner, there was a group of probably 8-10 Yutes walking down the middle of the 2 lane road. It was starting to get dark, and I flipped my lights on. On cue, these pricks stood in a line, arms lengths from each other, all the way across the street. 2 of them peeled off to the sidewalk on each side. I swear they must have practiced this move. GREAT! Well, not having a CCW, and that being a shitty choice anyway, I did the only thing left. (In a 400hp, manual transmission car with a wicked exhaust) Clutch in, snicked it into 1st gear, 5500rpm, clutch out. PEACE OUT MF'ers! Those assholes scattered like roaches as I smoked the tires and I caught a glimpse of a face in terror as I rolled on through. NO WAY was I stopping.

That right there is why I have an Andrews leather 'Carjacker' holster on my belt whenever I'm in my vehicle.
It provides instant access to my carry gun without moving one inch. It take two seconds to take off and stow before I get out of the truck, and then my CCW goes back to it's normal holster.  Not my picture, that from Andrews Leather catalog.

Quoted:
My 32yo female friend was driving alone in inner-city Baltimore in a 1yo sport-compact car this weekend, at one point taking a right-hand turn at a light onto a vacant 2-way, 4-lane street. She was in the second lane from the curb with cars in the curb lane making the same turn. The SUV that was in front of her swung wide into the opposing lanes during the turn, and came back across with the wheel hard over, stopping perpendicular to her lane of travel to the point she and the car next to her had to slam on the brakes to avoid T-boning the SUV. Four yutes jumped out and started advancing on her vehicle with at least one weapon visible. How would you react? Could you get to your carry gun while seated and belted? Do you try to drive out of there? Do you get out and run, abandoning your car? Lock the doors and call 911?

First she should not have been driving around in a bad part of town. Thugs feel empowered on their "turf". Hard to say what would have been her best option without being there, but its pretty easy to hit the gas and try and hit the suspects as you flee the area. If she was totally blocked in then its time to go for the gun and just shoot through the windshield.

I've been trying to find the right way to have my concealed firearm very quickly accessible in my car, without having to reach into some compartment I think if I were in the situation the OP talked about, I'd try to back up first. If that fails, Id try to get out of there without hitting a car. If I cant go forward or backward without hitting a vehicle, then I'd have my hand on my sidearm |

Serious question here - I drive an AWD crossover SUV type vehicle. In a mob setting, assuming your only option is to drive through the mob, will you be able to proceed or will the "speed bumps," as someone referred to them, entangle the wheels and stop the vehicle. I assume it inevitably depends on the crowd density but what are the issues in a situation like this. Any tactical/evasive drivers out there?

I assume it inevitably depends on the crowd density but what are the issues in a situation like this. Any tactical/evasive drivers out there? Obviously there are lots of factors that come into play but in general you can look at your bumper/hood height and your ground clearance to get an idea of what's going to happen. For example, children tend to go under cars (even ones that are low to the ground) while adults tend to go up on the hood and into the windshield (or off to the side if the driver swerves as they strike them). Trucks tend to go over more people as they usually have a flat front and after being struck the body drops and gets run over. Ideally you want to move them out of the way without them coming through your windshield or damaging your vehicle; having your windshield get broken is bad- it not only obscures your vision, but can get glass in your eyes (obviously another impediment to escaping), etc. There's a reason you see professional drivers wearing glasses just as you see soldiers with them. FWIW, I was told it's better to clip them, not ram them, so that the body generally go to the side. Again, the less damage your vehicle takes the better able it is to get you out of there. Speed and momentum are your friend as long as you remain in control of the vehicle. Of course things change when you have a larger armored vehicle- you can gas it and go. As for bodies bringing a vehicle to a stop, I suppose it could happen but the ones that I've seen hit by cars the driver stopped intentionally, either on top of the body or shortly thereafter. More than once we had to lift the vehicle to get it off the body. I will say that heads are no impediment to a vehicle's forward progress. 
Great example of the use of a larger vehicle and momentum here: 
ETA Watch the van clip the guy and how he rolls off to the side:
and another:
And a slow speed squash (kinda bloody): You have to log into youtube to see it but the label is " **CLOSE-UP** Man Run Over by Taxi in Montreal " Doing a search on youtube will show more videos of what happens when various vehicles strike people. No idea why the videos are formatting weird like this. |
