Exiting Your Vehicle

[Smoke]

The trick is to throw open the door and do a front shoulder roll to clear the 'fatal funnel' and take cover behind the engine block of the next car over

How could I have forgotten that one. :banghead:

a van with additional members armed with mp5k's.

One of which is equipped with additional steel plates, duck taped to his back to provide cover againt 308 rounds.

Glad to hear the Mall Ninja is working again.

Makes Valet parking almost an Olympic sport...

by Golly , we could have this as part of the Redneck Event.

Bubba probably win it....take that damn Dogde truck of his [ "that thang gotta a hemi? "] and just drive THRU the Wally World....why exit if you don't have to ?

Bubba would look good driving THRU a 4 star restaurant...snagging steaks and Dom Peri off tables ... oops , forgot the ice scuplture....gotta have ice for the beer....

SKUNK!!! If you come down we can all practice exiting the vehicle

 

[Vermonter]

I never leave the house, order everything. The pizza and UPS guys got a bit miffed at being searched until I gave them a good tip

If I have to go to the doctor I have an armored-car pick me up. Still looking for a doctor who makes house-calls.

Keep the papers, cell phone, and sunglasses in your pocket. Water bottle should be a quick grabber. Anything more and you have too much junk in your car and you need to clean up.

 

[Teufelhunden]

Skunk makes an excellent point, you are most vulnerable to attack when entering/exiting a vehicle, particularly when your arms are full

Maybe it's because I got used to keeping my right hand free for saluting while in the Marine Corps, but I automatically keep my right hand--coincidentally my gun hand-- empty almost all of the time anyway. If I can't get it all without burdening that side, I'll make two trips.

Teuf,

I have the same habit, for probably the same reason. That and the don't-mess-with-me, not-quite scowl (wipe that grin off your face recruit!) I wear all the time seem to do me well as far as negative interpersonal interactions go.

I also get a lot of "what's wrong?", "why are you upset?" and "why don't you smile more?" from the ladies, so that might be a downside.

Except for the conversational intro it gives me.....

Skunk pre-exit from CRV

Fast rope.
Any questions?

Oo-freakin'-rah, Devil Dog. FTS! This is police academy stuff, too: carry your gear in your support hand and keep your firing hand free.

carebear, try "Smile, it can't be that bad!"

Hehe, this thread is cracking me up. Seriously people, just take a quick peeky before you get out of the car. Going to the grocery store should not be like a clandestine mission where you are in perpetual fear of a hostage takeover.

Always look before you exit your car. One night I had taken a short nap in the car. When I awoke I looked around, and also looked directly down ! There right next to the car was a skunk !! Had I stepped out without looking I would have stepped on the skunk and me and my car would have been well perfumed !!

You know on the average day getting out of my jeep or bronco I'm hauling a back-pack full of CD's, a tape recorder, sketch pad, pens, grayscale markers, a paperback or two, cell phone and charger,face plate for the cd player in the truck, plus a cup for coffee... on the way back from the office there may be dry cleaning, groceries, etc to pick up. It pays to have a quick look around before you get out, no matter where you are going. Try to keep your 'fighting hand' free, even if it's only holding your keys. That's just common sense.

It's tough to get a weapon in play from inside a car when you have all that other crap on your mind (trust me, lots of IDPA folks shoot the car door by accident, I've come close several times.)

On the other hand I have A LOT of practice bailing out of a moving truck with a rifle or shotgun. otherwise known as the 'redneck biathalon.'

Some things in life cannot be learned from reading, some things one cannot learn from training schools[ they never did it , so they cannot teach it] , then again ...some things in life are just flat Genetic !

"It's in the genes boys , he wuz born with it".

Been my personal experience and observation of others- folks that can do the redneck biathalon' - have the genes to do the "redneck hoodblink ". That's when you are able to ride on the hood of a moving vehicle,feet on the front bumper , not get your legs in the way of the headlights,and the critter "blinks " in total surprise - right before the shot is fired.

Get out, and take care of business. After all, after the dust settles from the air strike called in minutes before your arrival, you can walk in without worrying about bg's.

when hes in town...

robert duval flys us down in the chopper he used in "Apocalypse Now" ..then he clears the beach parking lot with the 20mm ... and then...over the loud speakers he screams...."Charlie Dont Surf.."...

then we all jump out and have a nice beach day...

otherwise it dangerous as hell going to the beach...

When you are in Iraq and you exit the vehicle , get away from the vehicle since it is a target for RPGs and the vehicle won't protect you from that.

 

[Aguila Blanca]

I don't exit my vehicle. I do, however, get out of my car.

Seriously, has anyone else noticed (WARNING: THREAD HIJACK IN PROGRESS) how pretentious the writing is in most of the gun magazines? The realization has been gradually seeping into my befuddled brain that most of those guys never miss an opportunity to use a $5 word where a 5 cent word would do as well -- or better.

Maybe it's contageous.

 

[Grump]

Hey, everybody--NOW we know that EricO is really GWB, and he's been lurking here for months!!

Jeez, just get out of the dang car already. Don't over analize everything.

I almost laughed out loud, you coined a perfect term for anal analysis of things "tactical"!!
