Anyone breaks out a window of my vehicle while I am in it will need to be stopped.
Yeah, but it's a lot easier to justify using deadly force if the assailant is unknown to you and so in breaking out your window likely has robbery or car-jacking in mind. If it's your ex-girlfriend her motive is less certain, especially to a jury (maybe she was just mad and all she was doing was vandalizing the car), and you're facing a significant probability of going to prison. For one thing, you'd have personal information to form your decision, and that could well work against you. For instance, if she owned guns and you knew --like you'd gone to a range with her shooting-- you might be facing a prosecutor saying that she was only out to vandalize your car since she brought a bat instead of a gun, so you "knew" she wasn't trying to kill you.
