I recently watched a report on CNN or a simular outlet, about how Kidnappers attack, stop, and kidnap people out of moving cars.
It was a real eye opener.
In some ways, it reminded me of those old MAD MAX films.

The people in training, would swarm upto a target vehicle on motorcycles with two riders per cycle. The passenger rider, carries an automatic rifle, and points it at the cars driver, and passengers. If they do not stop, they shoot out a couple of tires, or fire at the engine compartment. The car stops. The rifle carrying riders dismount as soon as the car is disabled.
There are at least four cycles in the inital attack.
As the terrorists are starting to pull people out of the car, a secondary vehicle roars up. It is a small pickup truck with men in the box pointing a heavy machine gun at the car.
Then a van type vehicle enters the scene, and the aforementioned armed cyclists, push their victims into the van. The van speeds off, the cyclists depart along with the small truck. It all happens in a matter of less than two minutes.
They usually will kill every one but the intended victim of the kidnapping.

It is a quick, unforgiving, deadly, precision take down.
It is for a lack of better discription, a pack of preditory
animals making a kill...


Here in America this situation could very easily be pulled off.

Quite frankly, I do not know how you'd out manueuver a group of
attacking malcontents bent on robbing you, or kidnapping you.

Four automatic rifles aimed at you from all sides in pretty intimidating. Blown out tires, or a shot up engine is going to stop you whether you want to stop or not. A pick up truck pulling up,and aiming a big ass machine gun at you as well is going to force most to comply.

Thus, the whole senario got me to thinking. How would you stop a group of bad boys from running you down, and disabling your vehicle,and then robbing you of everything you have? ( i.e. Mad Max tactics )

Even if you had others in your vehicle shooting at them as you fled, the likely hood that you'll have a high speed crash, or get killed by their gun fire is high. Short of having an armored car/truck, I think the winning bet is going to be on the marauding hordes.

I think, that once out on the roads, it will not be easy going. I think we have to seriously think about the idea that we may have to contend with highway ambushes/ robbery in some fashion. I think secondary roads might be just as dangerous as the main highways too. Bad men in big heavy trucks, with powerful V8 engines ,armed with big guns will stop any SUV/car without a problem. Count on it!

Even the nations Police forces have perfected the high speed bump and push action, to knock a car off the road using just a police cruiser. They even knock trucks and vans off the road..

How do you defend yourself on the road in your vehicle?

This problem deserves some real attention...

The terrorists training in Pakistan have brought this to our attention folks...

This is why our officals travel in heavily armed convoys with Black heliocopters following overhead. WOW! Lucky them.
The every day shmuck is on his own...

WAR DOG out!
