Wow, finally after all these years I can say I've heard at least one story of a gun that saved a driver. Of course, if four guys couldn't handle one driver, I don't think he saved himself from much. It doesn't sound like they had the ability to inflict harm on a paper bag. It also sounds like the driver missed all four guys from point-blank range, too, so I don't think any of these people involved were Special Forces at any point in their lifetimes!
Myself. I carried a gun back when I was still driving. I was told one time "you may not own the freight,but it's sure as hell your responsibility ." That and there's a myriad of other reasons to carry one
