What's wrong with that plan?

I'm pretty sure even in America you can't shoot someone in the back when they're running away. Kinda ruins the self defence argument...

then again ... mabye you can I don't really know haha

It varies from state to state. I know of one case where a robber stuck up someone who then reached for his "wallet" and pulled out a small pistol and shot the robber in the stomach, then when the robber turned and ran the guy shot him twice more in the back and killed him. That was considered self defense and the shooter never even had to go in for questioning.

I also know that in Colorado you're allowed to shoot someone that you think is about to seriously hurt someone else, and "guy with a gun getting into my car where my brother's asleep" would fit that description.

...but in the end, nobody got shot and the guy still has his Camaro, so it worked out pretty well.

You know, that would have probably been the best course of action.
