Tactical
Scenario: 10-2005
By: Mark Henry
You
are on your way home from an evening gathering with friends. No alcohol is in your system. You are tired from work and time with
friends. It is about 9:00 PM in the
summertime. The sun is down but there
is still some ambient light. You are driving down a well-maintained straight
rural road with a strip mall located on the right. Suddenly, a car with the headlights off pulls out in front of
you. You slam on the brakes to avoid a
rear-end collision. The car turns on
the lights and proceeds down the road.
About a mile down the road, the car pulls over and you go on by. The car pulls out immediately behind you and
follows at a close but safe distance.
You
slow and stop at a red light. The
drivers side window is down, the door locked and your seat and shoulder belt
are fastened. Before you know it, the person in the car behind you has exited
his vehicle and has already hit you once in the head with his fist. He is a big
guy and extremely mad. He continues to punch you as he yells obscenities.
You
are legally permitted to carry a concealed weapon in this jurisdiction. You
have an Ed Brown Executive Carry 1911 loaded with Remington 230 grain Golden
Saber ammo in a Milt Sparks Summer Special holster on your strong side. Fox OC spray, a Spyderco Delica folding
knife and a Motorola V265 cell phone are also with you in their usual
positions.
State what action you
would take and why.

Your foot on the gas will get you out of more
trouble than your finger on the trigger. You have already been
"surprised" and struck in the head several times by a large, irate
male and if you lose the ability to see, breathe or comprehend, you will likely
be unable to fight effectively. Driving
away is quicker and more efficient than attempting to deploy any of the tools
at your disposal.

First off, the window
should always be rolled up and you should also be more aware of your
surroundings especially considering the past actions of this person.
That being said, the
punch is your wake up call that you let your guard down and now is the time to
run the red light. If he continues to follow you after that, it's time to call
the police and stay on the phone while driving yourself to a location they can
meet up with you and arrest the person in the car for assault.

If possible drive off if
it is safe to do so.
If not possible, raise
support arm to block the blows then release your seatbelt with strong hand and
push yourself over to the passenger side of vehicle draw your 1911
and prepare
to defend from his attacks.
If possible, dial 911, set the phone down and in a loud voice give
out the details to the 911 operator. If
possible exit the vehicle keeping it between you and him and using it
as cover.
2nd option
Raise support arm to
defend against attack. Release
the seatbelt and move over as far as possible. Raise the arm out of line of fire and shoot him from the
modified retention position. Dial 911,
state incident and exit the vehicle.
Use the rear or front of the vehicle to give you a cover position
