Sorry rabbit!jj, but I don't agree with you substitution of bow-and-arrow
for handgun.  At least I dont agree that they are comparable in that context.
(I can't really tell what your point was.)

 A bow and arrow can't be shot one-handed, as the truck driver did.
 An arrow won't penetrate the steel (or temperred glass) of an automobile
 the way the bullet that killed the girl did.
 A bow isn't concealable, and (unless it's a high-tech compound +3 bow)
 doesn't have the power of a slug of lead. It is quieter, though!
