The fact that you are in one of the friendliest crowds toward 2A in here and being told not to shoot over a car ought to tell you something. Unless you're living in your car, you can't consider it an extension of your home and going out with your trusty 1911 after asking for help and being told various options short of starting a gunfight is just asking for a charge of premeditation.

Some of the "advice" in here sounds like plants from the Brady Bunch just itching to have a story they can exploit. I know you're not -- but you might as well be.
