IMHO , handguns are useless as defensive weapons.They just "escalate up" the level. Most attackers are just behind our vehicles , money ... and most people would rather losing a vehicle than killing one man .
Also ... - a defensive veapon- should be ready to reach ,in a hurry .. That means that there's little point on hiding a gun on a hideout in the vehicles' frame... as -a defensive veapon- should be alwways ready withing reach ,-otherwise is useless- . A gun "at hand" enought to be usefull would be
really easy to be seen by police , etc.. with dramatic consecuences !!
My idea of self defense is just much more basic -yet equally "mindblowing"  - . a good solid steel steering wheel lock "in the right hands" is as lethal as a gun . , most people can use it without training, it is of "adaptative lethality" -we can ajust the severity of impacts as required- ,its even more effective than a gun to keep a furious crowd at a distance , and -as a side effect- it also helps to protect our car!!
It's only 20 quid and no officer in the world would object you having one of these within hand reach .
Shop around.. there are some models apparently designed really with this use in mind .!!!
