That doesn't matter, any more than we're obligated to lock our doors at home; an unlocked door is in no way an invitation to enter.

Not that it would change my reaction, but considering Texas Penal code 9.31 and what is says about forcible entry, I wonder what would happen if someone entered your unlocked vehicle and the driver shot him before even being forcibly removed. I personally would take my chances in court.

Every situation is going to different. My doors are always locked so an attacker would have to break my window then unlock it in which case I would just give it the gas. If for some reason I could not take off I would send lead in the attackers direction. Unless you have xray vision, there is no way of knowing the attacker is unarmed. In Texas, deadly force can be used to stop a robbery whether a weapon is used or not.
