Sure not, but unless you drive with your gun between your teeth.

I don't know if you know Lucky Luke in your place down south, but unless
you pull the trigger as fast as him, maybe be the car jacker will be faster
than you.

Anyway, keeping the car's doors locked while driving is just a basic
security element.

You don't know much about self-defense. A locked car is no defense
against a crook with a gun. It isn't hard to shoot out a window. There
are much better defensive techniques than locking your car. Read some
of Massad Ayoob's work or others in the field.

Locking the doors only gives a false sense of security. Hey, if it
works for you that is fine with me. Personally, I know of much better
techniques.

My best bet to get away from those car jackers is press on the right pedal,
with both hands on the steering wheel... With the doors locked!! ;-)

Locking doors is only a portion of what should and can be done. You
evidently are not aware of how many handbags have been snatched at traffic
lights because an unlocked door was just opened. Or how many people have
been yanked from their car. Obviously, it will not keep a pro or desperate
criminal from doing harm, but it is sure silly to not take minimal
precautions when driving in some areas. Where I live, probably same as your
area, I don't worry, but I do in downtown big city anyplace.

You probably don't walk down the street with your money in hand for all to
see and easily ******. Why leave yourself and anything that may be in your
car that vulnerable too?

Oh, and locking your car when parked is silly. That just lets the amateur
to break in and do damage to steal nothing of value. The pro will steal
your car at will, locked and alarmed.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a crash output from the SRSCM to the BCM on
many cars that causes the power locks to unlock if the airbag is triggered.
