Here's a question I just thought of in relation to carjackings.

If you are alone in the car and someone attempts to get into the car from the passenger side, are you justified from a self-defense standpoint in shooting them? I can envision an attorney saying that the driver could drive away without shooting (if the attacker couldn't actually get all the way inside the car)

Also, if the attacker did manage to get inside the car from the passenger side, should the driver shoot or get out of the vehicle without attempting to use his weapon?

Lastly . . .if an attacker attempted to gain control of the vehicle while you're inside (and the attacker is coming from either side) but does NOT have a weapon (in other words, he just plans on using physical force, no knife , no gun) are you justified in using deadly force?
