This is just a little story I stumbled upon a while back. Seems to bring a little extra to the cause.

The report goes: A man in North California in the US was driving an SUV when his phone startled him. This caused him to drive off the road and he went right into a river, where his SUV started to sink. Being a person who carries a firearm everyday, he was able to shoot out the window of his vehicle and escape safely.
Point is, guns are merely tools that shoot out a fast piece of metal somewhere. It doesn't have to be used to kill, and in this case clearly demonstrates its usefulness in saving that man's life.
The normal procedure for getting out of a car sinking in water is to wait until the inside completely fills with water, so that the pressure is equal and the door can be opened. Personally, I think that is a bit of a risky thing to do, especially when you can just break your window with your handgun, don't you think?
