I'm having a hard time figuring out how that is helpful. If she disables her car, gets hit by the airbags, and trapped in a metal box, where's the advantage? What's the difference between a claim for a stolen car and an intentionally wrecked car? Can't the carjacker just reach in like a helpful bystander and take her phone, purse, and anything else?

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Last week my wife and I went to Key Largo and Key West for a few days. (Key Largo's not too bad, but Key West is a tourist trap with the drunks street people etc.)
Anyway we were having breakfast in Key Largo before heading to the airport in Miami. I see this guy (50's) walking through the parking lot towards the door. He has a Man Purse over his Right Shoulder and his Right Hand is inside the purse, like he's holding something. He acts like he's either looking for someone, or deciding what to do. He keeps his hand like that as he enters the establishment and still acts like he's deciding what to do. He walks around the corner of the counter gets a menu and sits down for less than a minute, looks around some more and then leaves.
He was pretty sketchy to say the least. As I saw him in the parking lot approaching the door, I got a grip on my Glock 43 in it's pocket holster. I didn't draw, just prepared to.
The good thing was my wife saw the look on my face and she didn't even question what I was doing and why, guess she's been married to a cop too long... she had noticed him right after I had.

I'm curious as to how many forum members---excluding LEO and .mil---have experienced scenarios where they actually drew & fired due to a violent encounter.
