Shooting through a car door. From inside.

My friend told his wife that if someone would ever walk up to her vehicle and put a gun to her she should hold her pistol (9mm) to the door where the person couldn't see and shoot through the door to kill the person outside the vehicle. Does this seem logical? I don't know too much about pistols and I'm a horrible shot with a one but to me that sounds like a bad idea. Seems like the bullet wouldn't have any stopping power after going through the door panel then through the metal then the clothes. What are y'all thoughts on this?

It depends on alot of things, mainly bullet type and if the window is rolled down or not IMO. I'd try it if I had to, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work very well. There's lots of guts in a car door and there are places where nothing but a piece of plastic and .030 sheet metal are between you and outside. Far too many variables to say.

If that happened to me, I wouldn't even grab my gun, give them wallet phone keys or whatever and let em be on there way.

I forgot exactly what his wife does but it involves going to people's homes. One day a guy was trying to make her stay by standing infront of her car door so she couldn't get in then he held her door open while she wanted to close it to leave. He was hitting on her and being a creep the whole time. Scared the crap out of her so my friend got her a pistol to keep in her vehicle. Killing someone is worth not getting raped.

If I felt I need to shoot thru the door I'd unload that SOB.

yup
took me a sec to think about it, then realized that it would be almost impossible for someone to steal my great paw paw and paw paw's pocket watches.. so yeah, in most cases at gunpoint i'm giving my stuff up..
then shooting them in the back

I have a few possessions I would die for.
Like powpows .22 or my other powpows wwII items.
But I wouldn't have those in my truck, so yes I would hand over what they wanted in that situation

I've seen some videos on YouTube where they set up some car doors in front of water jugs. For the most part bullets go right through unless they hit a cross member.
With that being said:

I would not advise this.
This was actually my 8th grade science fair project. I took a 9mm, .40 and .45 and shot each one at an old car door from different distances and then shot each one at a windshield at different angles. I forget exactly which angle it was, but passed a certain angle the 9mm simply deflected off the windshield. I don't remember much about what happened with the car door except that most didn't make it through, but that was from a distance. However, I took the car door apart after (this was an older car door) and there was a ton of metal inside that would easily stop a bullet.

Throw your wallet out the window drive away

Yup. Already at gunpoint, it's too late to do much.

I'm sure that's what powpow would want...his grandson to die over a .22 rifle.
There's a lot of things worth dying for...material shite isn't one of them.

And most likely ruptured eardrums. That shite would be un-holy in a closed vehicle.

I agree with the sentiment here but it would take a lot for me to just surrender that shite. "Giving them what they want" encourages criminal behavior. We have to start pushing back eventually.
And actually for the most part now, a wallet is worthless to a criminal. They would more than likely want your phone or some electronic device.
