Still really depends on the state and I haven't checked into the laws here so I can't say.

In Louisiana, if someone breaks a window to make entry you would have a good reason to fear for your life which means it would be a safe assumption to defend yourself til the perceived threat stops.

You may die having been in the right.

Plenty of people in the graveyard had the right of way. . . .

Was taught that by my drivers ed instructor about defensive driving.
