re: Shooting through a car door. From inside.

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?

No.

Why hold the gun where he can't see it ?

1. He might decide to run away when//if he sees the gun.

2. She'll get better hits by raising the gun to eye level and pulling the trigger.

3. As Clint Smith says -- either drive, or shoot. I think driving away, if feasible, is option # 1 in the scenario you posed.


If she's being blocked from entering her car (as was posed as a different scenario), and if she can articulate why she was reasonably in fear of death or great bodily harm, then a gun would be a good tool to have.
