I have two bullet proof vehicles (B6) and PSD comprising of ex army/le/spec ops and usually have two vehicles escorting family members but sometimes (even I agree) it really gets frustrating for them as it is irritating when some places like shopping malls, walled residential compounds, airport etc do not allow firearms in their vicinities or might require prior security clearance so it comes down to arguments, phone calls, leverage, favors etc etc etc.

Plus an employee telling them what to do is sometimes unacceptable to some of them so keeping it short it becomes a NIGHTMARE when a family member would ask me to fire a certain person, well because the poor guy was doing what I had told him to do. Some family members actually try to sneak out without them to get it from me but to do it another day.

My wife for one feels claustrophobic & short of breath in a BP vehicle. I hardly get time for the family but when I do it always has to be on their terms. So it HAS to be a NonArmoured vehicle without any security detail.

Theoratically, some of the basic offensive exit startegies to counter a situation when using a firearm IS the last resort have been something like shooting a burst at the person @ my side of the vehicle and immediately jumping/covering the person sitting next to me and landing a burst at the second BG at the other side of the vehicle etc. Another's been to spray full auto instantly upon contact and reverse at full throttle, change mag quickly another mag dump on full auto, do an L turn and speed away or if there's a car behind, full auto on contact, ram hard, take out the Krinikov or MP5K which is under the seat, immediately leave the vehicle firmly telling the passenger to drive away & call for help and pray all that range time, briefings by security consultants, books and threads at TFL are put to good use. I have zero professional training or combat experiance.

When alone I only carry any of my Glocks, HKs or SIGs but when with family I always carry a Glock 18 & a 19 with a FSSG switch with many 33 rd mags. I used to load some of them with FMJs and some with Hydrashoks but recently I've imported a lot of Corbon DPX, Ranger T Series +P and Fed HSTs and all of them run perfectly on full auto through my

Glocks but I do keep a mag or two of SMG FMJs. I keep a AK-74U (Krinikov) or an MP5-K under the seat & easily accessible. Everythings cocked, unlocked. I've practiced extensively with full auto Glocks and can land 90% of the bullets on the paper within 15 yards using two hands and 100% within 7-10 yards with one hand, in quick bursts. I'm ambidexterous so there's no weak hand.

I've had a lot of briefings from friends, family in the LE or military, security consultants, security supervisors but I'm paranoid when it comes down to family so I'm kind of not satisfied. My father was at a senior position in the military & later in the LE and did some Anti Terrorist & VIP protection courses from the US, France & UK so his experiance & the literature with him really helps.

It's not that we have a high crime rate or anything but.... I personally believe anything can happen anywhere esp when you're not expecting it. I was kidnapped for ransom once and got threat calls from well different 'focus groups' ranging from local mafia, corrupt politicians etc asking for money to which I've always flatly refused. One of my companies provide transport/shipping services, fuel etc to the Allied forces in Afghanistan so I think it's best to be safe than sorry.

I really liked and noted posts by Malamute, m&p, clayintx and others and would really value any further feedback.
