LTCF and your vehicle

[dragonman]

HB 40 mentions protecting youself in your vehicle. What does the current law allow regarding protection while in a vehicle, either your own or as a passenger?

What would the requirements be for using deadly force? Do you have to clearly see a weapon as they approach and grab your car door, would just trying to gain access while you are in your vehicle be just cause?

Under most circumstances, your car is a far more potent weapon than a pistol. Most situations involving being accosted when you're in the driver's seat, can be resolved by simply accelerating away.

Good advice....I hope most folks heed it.
