FWIW, I don't think I would shoot as much as I may want to... I would not have necessarily been in fear for my life unless he tried to enter the vehicle or pull me or my family out of it... so would that be justifiable due to property damage but no threat of egregious bodily injury or death? I'd have to say no.

Now if I had to stop moving and he pulled on the door handle, I'd definitely shoot that d-bag with a smile on my face, but before then it's just a case of vandalism, which isn't legal justification for shooting AFAIK.

I'm gonna go with Chad here. If he's grabbing my door handle I'm reacting way to late, especially after he's already smashed my headlight, windshield and hood.
