This is why North Dakota, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas have bills on the table to run protesters the fuck over if they attack cars.
This guy is boxed in.
Cars to the left, right, and rear, and protesters to the front. He can do nothing but sit there with the doors locked praying that the protesters can’t smash through the windows.
IANAL, but in at least a dozen states, I’m pretty sure it would be legal at this point to start shooting protesters.
Especially that double foot jump guy that caved in the windshield. Any reasonable person would be afraid that the protesters were trying to force their way into the vehicle to do harm to the driver.
They spat on the car, slammed a bike onto the windshield, then a guy jumped on it & they broke the handle, trying to open the door from the outside.
Woman was shaking & in tears, “We were trapped, there was so much violence, I thought I was going to die.” pic.twitter.com/H3mA9sSO4D

They were most definitely trying to break their way into the car to do harm and the people inside were terrified.
I am now as certain as I can be as an internet amateur (IANAL) that the shooting would start and would be legal in a shall issue, stand your ground state.
Especially if my kids were in the back seat and someone was trying to punch their way in through a rear window.
As for the places where you can’t carry a gun, just stay the hell out of them.
Although, given the cost of ammo right now, you might be able to carry there with the argument that it’s not a gun, but a portable ATM dispensing $5 tokens.
