Unless I saw the would-be intruder had a gun or until he actually breached the vehicle, I would probably not fire.

I've had a Steyr AUG discharge about 4 inches from my ear. Lost all my hearing and suffered severe headaches for about a month.

I'll take that over somebody that intends to do willful and grievous harm to me and my family. I agree, however, that _when_ to shoot demands a clear and present threat. Had the situation been me, I'd have called 911 and asked directions to the nearest police station and driven there.

This....... If I believe someone is going to attempt to gain entry to my vehicle after all that I would do the same.

The moment he tried to enter my car by grabbing the handle, it's Code Black. I'd have perforated him severely until he was no longer a threat to me or my family.
