Thankfully I keep one of those in my car at all times and it's always got one in the chamber and a dozen behind that just in case someone gets crazy.

This preacher is packing heat.
Be sure to know the gun laws. I recommend "Texas Gun Law, armed and Educated" by Texas Law Shield. You can find yourself at the mercy of an emotional and uneducated jury if you ever use your gun from your car. It's best to run away and avoid gun play if at all possible in any situation. You are not entitled to "reasonableness" in the situation involving your car which means the prosecution is free to question both reasonableness and necessity. The question of force versus deadly force can also be brought up. You can be truly screwed by a criminal in this situation, they know that, and they do that.
