Hypothetical: thugs are stealing your car; you walk out with a nine and unload. Who goes to jail?
Technically you can only shoot if entering house/curtilage (depending on jurisdiction), or your life is in danger.
So if car is in your garage, blast away. If it's just out on the street, I'd be careful.
However, juries have not convicted shooters for protecting property (no life threat) in TX and LA...still, maybe chasing off with shots in the air would be preferable to a trial for your life?

You probably shouldn’t be giving legal advice.
