Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended initial response to a carjacking attempt?

Instead of immediately resisting, consider feigning surrender to create an opportunity to draw your firearm. Avoid physically engaging with the attacker's weapon, as this can lead to accidental discharge or escalate the violence.

What should you do after neutralizing a carjacker threat?

After the immediate threat is dealt with, do not approach the attacker. Your priority is to move to a position of cover or tactical advantage and then immediately call 911. Your safety is paramount.

Why is it dangerous to slap at a carjacker's gun?

Slapping at an attacker's gun can provoke them to fire, or it could accidentally discharge the firearm. This action can turn a potentially non-lethal encounter into a deadly one, even if the attacker didn't initially intend to shoot.

Where do carjackers typically try to gain access during an attack?

Carjackers often target the area around the car window. This position makes it difficult for the victim to fight back effectively, as their movement and ability to deploy a defense are significantly restricted.
