Good point. Most of the newer Vehicles lock the doors as soon as you put it in gear. Normally, I would start the vehicle as soon as I got in, put it in gear, and just hold the brake until I was ready to move. It's kind of a bad habit I developed because my trunk button is in the center of the center console of my old car, and my dog would step on the button which would Pop the trunk if the car was not in gear. For whatever reason, that bad habit didn't stickAgain I would be wondering how they got past my locked doors. Prevention is a part of situational awareness. Y'all do lock your doors immediately when you get in your car.... right?

However if I couldn't get out and my life were threatened then I might be forced to fire through the back of my seat and then get out of my car.
But the common theme is for me to escape the situation as soon as I am able.
You're visiting from out of town staying at a hotel nearby. You just left the range as it was closing. You're walking to your vehicle and you notice another vehicle parked next to yours, and it's the only other vehicle in the parking lot. But there are two people getting into the vehicle, so you assumed they were at the range and they're leaving too.
Once you're inside the vehicle, you take out your phone and start looking up the nearest decent restaurant. Then you notice that the driver of the vehicle next to yours has stepped out, and is looking over the top of your vehicle to someone who is apparently on the driver side. You turn to look out the driver side window into the mirror to see someone opening your driver side back door and get into the vehicle really quickly?
What would you do?
I'd pull a Jackie Chan on him, spin around into a full Clint Eastwood, drop him with a Bruce Lee roundhouse, and then render him harmless with a Charles Bronson hammerlock.If I am the only one getting in the car, I only hit unlock on the fob once, which unlocks only the drivers door.

Or I'd just do what XD said.
