If not there could be a lot of doubt accused against you my friend and a very expensive lawsuit to defend your action even if your in the right.
You may sincerely feel your life is threaten but pulling the trigger for a car jack with no physical harm would put yourself in a bad position if you get my point.
I am very pro NRA and get your point but just be Careful or you will be spending a million dollars to stay out of jail for some scum bag trying to steal your car.
just my opinion.

The circumstances are still very important when you decide to defend yourself with force. I was in an attempted car jacking in Nevada in the Spring of 1984. Had been driving from Denver into a very barren area of Nevada near the Utah border on US 50. Pulled into a rest stop and a man came up and demanded I get out of the car. I was so tired I just moved my legs fast from where he was threatening to slam the door on them, started the car, aimed it at him in front of me, and then backed up as quickly as I could. Still had to stop to rest as soon as possible though. I had thought of running this attempted carjacker over but the circumstances I believe would not have been in my favor.
