I sense that handguns will be little help in this situation unless someone stumbles onto the shooter, and can get a shot off before he does.
From the distances the mutt's shooting from, a handgun would be useless for return fire.
OTOH, what is the prevailing attitude in the MD area towards a citizen keeping a long gun such as an M1 Garand in his vehicle?

There are a lot of hunters in Maryland, but nobody drives around with a gun in a gun rack in the back of the pickup truck in the DC metro area. Too many thieves.
