It may depend on the state. In Tennessee, car jacking is generally defined as someone taking your car through the use of deadly force. By definition, if a person is using deadly force against you, you can shoot the person because you are defending your life. (Taking your car without using force is just car theft.) Additionally, Tennessee law states that if someone is breaking into your occupied vehicle, you can presume the person is a deadly threat. You should check your local laws to be sure.
