Self-Defense and the Law: Do Vehicle Assaults Warrant Armed Defense?

We think of our vehicle as part of our life and are as comfortable in it as if we were sitting in a mobile living room. We don’t think of it as a weapon. But when it is used as a battering ram, it is extremely deadly to unprotected human bodies.

Your antagonist attempts to run you over with a car or truck.

Let’s look at more elements of what Dr. Bill Lewinsky aptly described as “force science.”

The vehicle is coming at you swiftly. Dr. Alexis Artwohl’s research shows that more likely than not, we will experience “tunnel vision,” focusing on the threat—that is, the driver. The front of the vehicle passes the shooter too swiftly for the mind to recognize this fact and correlate it with a cessation of danger.

Are vehicle assaults considered deadly force?

Do they warrant your recourse to a defensive firearm?

I agree with ICE. You try to run over me or mine I’m calling it assault with a deadly weapon- (how can you argue the point-we already know cars kill tens of thousands in the US every year😊)
 
They certainly ARE deadly weapons, unfortunately shooting the car OR the driver wont stop the threat of a 2000lb bullet coming at you. I have no problem shooting the driver, (hes the trigger puller); but you have to get out of the way.

#1 job is to get out of the way…

OK…I am 81 and nowhere near as spry as I once was. If the driver is after me, I have no chance to escape, in all probability. Time to whip out the pistols and make a difference. Always a chance he will swerve while ducking or dying…
