That's the understatement of the day.
You are extremely vulnerable sitting in your car. There is almost no smooth way to draw from a duty holster while seated behind the wheel.
Downtown St Louis is not the place to let your guard down........................

"He's just sitting in the car and sees these two guys go past him," Betts said. "They walk down the street, they go down a little ways, then they turn around and start coming back."
"Now we try to train for everything," Betts said, "but ... as a sheriff's deputy, spider senses should have been tingling."
That's the understatement of the day.
The two young men walked "right up on him, both of them have guns, put the gun to his head and say, 'Give me the keys,'" Betts said.
Police said the robbers fought with the deputy for his gun, which was in his holster, then took off in his gun, car and phone. The suspects are described as men between 15 and 20 years old.
