NEVER, EVER get in the car. EVER. I think our instinct is to avoid being shot at the moment, so I tell them this a lot. Think it through. DON'T get in the car or don't stay in the car if someone is trying to take yours.
Some times these young ones like Jarhead airman need a little advice from their elders.I know Jar head personaly,he is a 10 year USMC vet and well trained in self defence.He is an expert marksman.In fact he could propably out shoot most le's with one of his cap and ball revolvers.
You said -- "I have kids, and have always told them NEVER, EVER get in a car with a highjacker/kidnapper - better to take your chances to be killed out in the open than be raped, tortured, killed later."
With kids, you've got it right there. An attacker who wants to hijack a car isn't (of course) going to ask the kids for the keys to the car, because the adult will have the keys. This allows the adult to critically distract the hijacker (same method as I was saying above) while the kids get away (and yes, don't get in the car -- or, on the other hand, get out of the car if they are already in the car).
So, they get further from the car (by running away) while you (or any other adult who is with them) is distracting the hijacker by throwing the keys to the ground (away from you preferably) and making a lot of noise. This should give the kids plenty of time to run away, as long as they are trained to do that beforehand.
In this scenario your kids would have very little threat on their lives and you would be the one with the greatest threat. And if you do it right, you should be able to get out of there, too -- with only the car missing. And a quick call to the police should get them on the road, immediately, looking for that car (within minutes).

Yeah, I like the ADT commercials where the 'bad guy' gets scared off by the alarm and the 'good-looking' ADT guy calls the frightened woman w/ kids on the phone.
She is sooooo relieved the 'good-looking' ADT guy has checked on her so promptly and is quite fine now.
No mention that it takes the cops 2 hours to show up, by which time she's been raped and murdered.
I love T.V.

He was a good boy. When he got the gun back, he didn't the old hag who just tried to kill him. Instead he ran off hoping to get medical help. What a shame. Old ladies, just can't trust them.
Hey catch y'all later, time to put the baby to sleep.... Keep supporting ol granny, Till next time God Bless

"Poursolanti was taken by Careflight to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he's listed in stable condition after surgery." Passing thought: does everyone that gets shot in Dallas end up at Parkland?
Well, my kids are teens (driving) , but I agree with you!
