I always keep my handgun on me down in the door cup holder. If someone tried to carjack me the first thing they are getting is shot.

There's a large roundabout on my way back from work with multiple traffic lights and lots of directions to come from. Because our municipality is broke, the lights don't work and it's ****ing dark. Whenever I catch the light and it's not green I slow down wayyy before the intersection and slowly head towards it in 1st gear to leave a gap. I also check my blind spots for people approaching.
So this time, I'm checking my blind spots as usual and slowly heading forward waiting for the light to change. Check left, check right, check left, check right, check left -
OH FUCK there's a guy right next to my car looking into the window reaching for the door handle!
Was scared, I won't lie. Really really scared. I put foot but revs were too low, car didn't jump as I expected. But he took it as a signal that I'm not an easy target and casually walked back to wait for the next person to come past.
So yes, stupid me for not locking my doors. But if I wasn't alert, I would've had a nice romantic night drive with a stranger. I was shocked that he managed to get right next to me even though I was checking all over. Like a freaking snake along the ground or something.
