I would have to be absolutely sure this guy was gonna kill or seriously injure me and my family before the gun would come out. If the gun comes out it will be used and most likely be emptied. Nobody really can answer this question until it happens. Gun ownership is a huge responsibility as well as a liability.

I dunno, Targa...if you allow it to get to the point of you being dragged out of the car (remember, he'd already been hit by that point), you're dazed. The odds of you being able to access your weapon have already gone down drastically, and if your attacker(s) already have their hands on you, odds are they can get to your weapon first. It is best to be preemptive (not necessarily saying shoot first, but just ensure it's out/available before their hands are on you).
