Even if out "most-trusted" representatives in D.C. grow morals over night, and actually constrain themselves to our Nation's laws, we still have a simmering surge of violent criminal enterprises on the rise throughout the country, as they use our Interstate Highway system to traffic their products. If you were to find yourself a target for a car-jacking by highly-motivated and determined criminals with years of experience, a good car gun PDW would be the best thing you could have to stand a chance in an unavoidable gunfight.
Analyzing the dash cam videos of LEO's who have been gunned-down by narco-traffickers makes you realize right away that these are very decisive individuals who don't hesitate to unleash a barrage of fire on anyone who gets in their way. If they are driving or riding in a vehicle loaded out with large volumes of narcotics and cash, they are rarely alone, and carry firearms that are meant to win the fight with other armed threats.
They often have 1911's chambered in .38 Super, which is legal in Mexico since it's not a military cartridge, or have shown a preference over the past decade leaning more and more towards the FN 5.7 pistols with 20rd mags, which are compact, lightweight, and most LEO's will have to do a mag change before the thugs will...if only pistols are involved.
While these guys are black-market businessmen, they usually prefer to maintain a low profile and just drive the routes, with no intention of making contact with potential intercepts. If things get nasty, and they have been forced to ditch their vehicle, I can see a lot of scenarios where they would resort to a hasty car-jacking after burning down our Peace Officers, placing any of us in potential danger.
This is why I AM an advocate of the car-gun PDW, and I have been thinking of a SBR Mini-14 folder for that purpose. A 10" Suppressed AR would be another great choice. I do understand the likelihood of actually needing one is pretty low among civvies where I live, and it introduces the potential for theft more than anything, so these pros and cons need to be weighed when deciding on whether to go the car gun PDW route or not. If I was still living in some of the other major cities I have lived in, it would be a much higher priority I think, but would be much more difficult or impossible to legally-obtain due to State laws in most of those areas.
For example, if you live in California, New York, or Chicago, the elected officials there don't recognize your right to maintain your life while you are out and about conducting your normal activities day-to-day, while violent criminals will use whatever weaponry they can obtain to protect themselves, or violate others. If you did dare to discreetly bear arms as the Constitution implies, and were forced to protect yourself and family from imminent death, rape, or bodily harm, you would be prosecuted as a criminal by the local DA...if you actually prevailed in the violent encounter.
In my State, the opposite is true, which is really one of the top 2 reasons I live here. Freedom isn't just an idea to those who taste it daily...and I truly love and cherish freedom, believe me I do.
