Self-defense is justified on the reasonable fear of great bodily harm.
Whether you in your lawyer wannabe mind set "doubt" it or not is irrelevant.
Care to risk your other eye in an experiment?  Even though you might "doubt"
you would be blinded, I doubt you would run the risk.  Neither would someone
in a car were you threatening them with a fire extinguisher.

As usual, you are wrong again.  Under the laws of most--if not all--US
jurisdictions, it is.  If you don't think so, fine, just sit there like a
jerk with you gun in your hand and let the nice rioter have a go at your car
window.

Wrecks, gunshots, rocket attacks and 2x4s, huh?  Wake up Jimbo; can't you
see that the universe is trying to tell you something?  That ringing sound
you keep ignoring is the clue-phone, Jimbo.
