    On most vehicles lock options are programmable thorough some obtuse combination of key operations combined with some other switch.

    Upon receipt of my new [then] 2007 Ridgeline, I immediately programmed the locks to lock when the car is put in gear and NEVER unlock except by explicit operation.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    Anecdotal evidence seems to show groups like this will scatter once a counter-ambush starts and shots are fired. They might squeeze off a shot or two, but they'll run. I doubt they're disciplined enough or trained well enough to stay in the fight. Video after video of incidents like this on YouTube and elsewhere almost always shows them hauling ass once the good guy starts to shoot back. A few might not but I think the odds are in favor of a victim (or bystander) who puts up an aggressive defense with a gun.

    ETA: Having said all that, 6 to 1 are difficult odds at best.

    IF the mindset was there. Or even a basic survival instinct. A 2000 lb car trumps even 6, 200 lb attackers. Of course one has to also wrap their head around the mentality of IT'S MY NEW PRIUS! .
    Like we stress during handgun training. LET THAT MAG DROP!! It's $25 to replace the mag. How much will it cost to replace you??

    Sounds like you have cheap clientele that aren’t shooting HK’s…..
