If you don't have a Concealed Handgun License, get one. If you have one, but don't ALWAYS carry, START!

Way back guy was at a self car wash in FL. Hood forces him into the trunk, off they go. Guy realizes they are off the highway, then off asphalt and finally stop. When the scum opens the trunk the owner shot him. He kept a gun in the trunk just in case. I'll look for a link; it was years ago.

Go look at a new BMW. There's release in the trunk.

May have been this; right time frame.

"When his warning shots were ignored, Brite opened fire killing Carl Lee Reese, 21, of Fort Pierce. Reese's cousin, Mario Danele Sikes, 17, got away in a station wagon, but was caught within minutes after a description of the car was broadcast over police radios."

My advice is never fire a "warning shot."
