In my state if you shoot someone it has to be due to them confronting you with equal deadly force. Take this same scenario, yank your Colt when the guy breaks the mirror and now what? You can't legally shoot him, in fact you're the one in trouble for brandishing a weapon. When I carry, I go out of my way to avoid even the smallest confrontation, I've never pulled it and I hope I never do. In NY you can't even shoot an intruder in your home if they are unarmed which I think is nonsense.
