Using a Vehicle for Cover in a Gunfight

www.thearmorylife.com/using-a-vehicle-for-cover-in-a-gunf... The article titled "Using a Vehicle for Cover in a Gunfight" by Hunt Fish Shoot, published on The Armory Life, addresses the importance of using a vehicle effectively as cover during a self-defense situation involving gunfire, which could occur more likely in or around vehicles than at home. It differentiates between cover, which can stop bullets, and concealment, which merely hides one's profile, emphasizing that during a confrontation, exiting the vehicle quickly and using its engine block or the first third of the vehicle for cover provides better protection. The piece also advises against relying on car doors for cover, as they usually offer only concealment. Positions along the car's side, such as the B-pillars or the rear wheel areas, are highlighted as better protective options. Additionally, the rear or front of the vehicle offers overall good cover, with strategic side positioning being more advantageous. It emphasizes the need for mobility and adaptability in using available cover efficiently during such threatening encounters. The article advises maintaining a safe distance from the cover and strategically using angles to engage a threat effectively.
