Why you might consider carrying an AR pistol in your vehicle. (VERY often called "Truck Guns") - Bottom line is firepower and capacity. Yes, you can get 33rd magazines for double-stack G***ks, but most people's EDC guns are generally smaller. An AR pistol with a 7.5" barrel has more power, is EXTREMELY loud and being downrange for just a shot or two will intimidate most assailants with just the flash from the muzzle and the noise alone.
A few takeaways for students from this: First and foremost, never let your gas tank get below 1/2 tank and ultimately do NOT have to stop for gas at night. (While long distance highway traveling, maybe not practical but then stop at large well-lit truck stops.) Next, BOTH shooters were rather reckless in their shooting and shooting by gas pumps is just a BAD thing regardless.
But many from classes will remember a warning "Watch for running inside gas stations or convenience stores." Let's expand that to running OUTSIDE too. Here we see a second car drove INTO the middle of a gun fight. Turn your stereo down, crack your window for a second and always leave a way to drive OUT of a gas station, intersection, etc. Here it appears the "good guy" is instructing the women in the second car to get down. I'm hoping he said "Get the hell out of here!"
Finally a reminder, if you're in the middle of pumping and haven't paid for your gas and something bad starts to happen, DRIVE OFF... call the police. Explain what happened and why you left, that you WILL pay for the gas. The station's security cameras will confirm what you saw and you will probably not be charged with any crime. (The worst - a misdemeanor theft charge... a small price to get out of a gun fight.)
