Does that give him the <strong>ability <\/strong>to seriously injure you or those around you? Certainly.<\/p>\n<p>Does he have the <strong>opportunity <\/strong>to immediately inflict serious bodily injury? The answer lies in HOW CLOSE is he and what, if anything, is between you and his crowbar? <\/p>\n<p>Is he demonstrating the <strong>intent <\/strong>to seriously injure or kill you with that crowbar? Not while he is beating your car&#8217;s fenders, but as soon as he moves to your driver&#8217;s side window and raises the crow bar&#8230; YES!<\/p>\n<p>So what should you do? <\/p>\n<p><strong>Plan A:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we demonstrate in our very stimulating classroom lectures at Front Sight, the best gun fight is the one you AVOID, so use that 3,000 pound, four sided shield you are driving to get away if at all possible. No worries about the damage to the car. It is just a car and it is insured.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plan B:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are boxed in, do not have a gun, and cannot get away, then use the 3,000 pound deadly weapon you are driving and when he comes around the front or back of the car, pin him against the car in front or behind you or simply run him over. Whatever you do, do it with authority.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plan C:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have a gun (isn&#8217;t this video one of the best examples of why EVERY responsible citizen should carry a gun?) and cannot get away, pin him, or run him over, then as he raises the crowbar to smash your driver&#8217;s side window, lean back away from the window as you raise your pistol, see a flash of your sights and press the trigger for an accurate, controlled pair of shots into his chest. <\/p>\n<p>Note: Be ready to deliver a head shot after a controlled pair to his chest because this guy is likely feeling no pain due to the effects of whatever street drugs he is on. His central nervous system may only react properly to a bullet in the brain. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Plan D:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is no plan D. <\/p>\n<p>Again, mindset and training is everything in a situation like this so you should be running &#8220;what-if&#8221; scenarios through your mind to be prepared when someone like the street scum in this video picks you or your family as his next intended victim. <\/p>\n<p>If you and your family want the mindset and training to handle yourself with expertise on the street, but don&#8217;t yet have a gun, then get a Springfield Armory XD Pistol at no charge when you take advantage of the Greatest Course, Gun, and CCW Permit Offer in the firearms training industry see this link: <\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.frontsight.com\/free-gun.asp<\/p>\n<p>I post a different article on this blog each Monday so I look forward to your visit every week.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an interesting photo, story or tip about a relevant topic of interest to gun ownership, firearms training or Second Amendment issues, please feel free to send it to me at:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@frontsight.com\">info@frontsight.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t yet have a gun, then get a Springfield    Armory XD Pistol at no charge when you take advantage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontsight.com\/free-gun.asp\">Greatest Course, Gun, and CCW    Permit Offer in the firearms training industry<\/a> see this link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontsight.com\/free-gun.asp\">https:\/\/www.frontsight.com\/free-gun.asp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See you next week.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">var addthis_pub = 'frontsight';var addthis_language = 'en';var addthis_options = 'email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more';<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis_container23\" style=\"float:right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=20\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com%2F2010%2F02%2F08%2Fwhat-would-you-do-to-this-dirtbag%2F', 'What+Would+You+Do+to+This+Dirtbag%3F')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" border=\"0\" height=\"16\" width=\"125\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/200\/addthis_widget.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ignatius Piazza<br \/>\nFounder and Director<br \/>\nFront Sight Firearms Training Institute<br \/>\nP.O.
