Cars are very difficult to kill with bullets. We were forbidden from trying to stop a car with gunfire. If the driver is trying to kill you, you shoot the driver. That goes back to "Carry enough gun", mouse guns do not apply, "Oh, I don't need to carry a reload" sounds silly in this context.
Okay, you are in the middle of the street in a crosswalk and the driver is trying to run you over. How many times are you going to be able to reload before he hits you?

5 rounds of .357 with 158 gr bullets trumps 30 rounds of 9MM with 125 gr bullets unless you are shooting an Uzi. Either way how many shots are you going to be able to get off before you are a splotch on the pavement.

Me thinks a little two stepping to one side or the other might give you a better chance of survival then shooting.
