Tell us more about something you've never done.... More about firing a handgun inside a closed car? Sure!  I have owned or regularly slept with the owners of six maybe seven vehicles in my life, although in fairness that AMC Scout back in college was so rusted out it didn't really count as a "closed vehicle", especially after an Indian Indian roommate, who had never driven a car, sideswiped a stop sign when I was letting him try and knocked out a rear side window. OK, how about you? Seriously. You ever fire any gun at all inside a closed vehicle?

Perhaps a shotgun would have worked better. I think you'll find that many patrol officers don't have ready access to a shotgun. Why not? I later qualified the comment by saying unless things have changed in the past 15 years. 15 years ago most of the patrol officers I knew (along the Gulf Coast) didn't have a shotgun in the cab of their vehicle. Some had them in their trunks. That may have changed. Current LEOs should be able to speak better to what's going on in the field today. I wouldn't give a damn whether they issued me one or not, I'd bring my own.

I made the mistake of touching off a 22-250 out the right hand side of a pickup without getting the muzzle all the way out the window. Won't do that again. 😁

Except mine was a .223. And, you're right - won't ever happen again.

Let's add in what John the video narration guy says.. .
General word of warning concerning John boy other videos he suggests firing through ones windshield, in your OP vid. he says the opposite. How is the average armed good citizen supposed to figure what they should after listening to him? I wasn't commenting on his advice, but his observations of the encounters he's reviewed. But to answer you strawman, I think you need to make up your own mind for your situation.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

I have a good friend who, when out at the ranch, shot himself through the foot with a .22 magnum revolver, miraculously it was through and through with no phalanges broken. Alcohol may have been a factor, and I'm pretty sure the driver's side window of his pickup was rolled down at the time.

Its the case with John boy that his perception of what he has at times observed are based on his own wild ass conjecture... apon which he then provides his tactical advice.

Ya, it doesn't blow your ear drums out... OK, if you'd care to expound upon this, why did you discharge a firearm inside a closed vehicle and what sort of firearm was it? Also, has it had any permanent effect on your hearing? Clint and his Dirty Harry movies led to considerable hearing loss amid the Boomer generation here in Texas, when everybody had to have a Model 29 at a time when earplugs were for weenies. And that was shooting outside.

^^^ From very far away. Preferably find reverse if you're too close and park at an angle so you can roll out with the car between you and the bad guy with a long arm. Another gunfighter. Super. I looked but couldn't find the deflave sarcasm emoticon. Will this one do?

Lot of people lie to make themselves feel big. Really. With my friend he said it happened when he was attempting to put a Ruger Single Six (?) back in the holster while sitting in his truck. Known him for about 35 years now, this was before I got here. Never have asked to see the scar.

You cite the FBI data as a reliable source I gather, so why should anyone need to repeat what Utube sensation John boy has done?

I only knew one guy in patrol who had accidentally fired a shotgun through the roof while taking it out of the rack in a patrol car. He said it was very loud and wore hearing aids. Can't say all the hearing damage was from that single shotgun round but he said at least some of it was. He also said 00 Buck does a lot of damage to a roof.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I'm referring to the usual internet badasses.
