I must be the only one here with a little imagination. lol

Let's say the bad guy grabs your daughter in an attack similar to the Dugard case. You are able to close on the car as the bad guy is climbing in and or starting to drive off. There are a number of angles from which shooting the driver without putting a passenger in more danger would be very possible. You might also be able to disable the car as they are attempting to flee.

Everyone is getting caught up with being too close to use a weapon or too far away to use a weapon. A LOT of CQB training courses include shooting at contact distance.

I would comment on the last sentence in your post but I'm having trouble keeping my response civil.


You aren't the only one with imagination, you're just letting it run wild and free here. As for not accidentally shooting the child being "very possible", that's not good enough. Putting rounds through a vehicle with children in it does not help anyone. It "might" save the day, yes, or it just might not.

Your time would be better spent writing down the license plate number.
