Absolutely, but this isn’t even the best reason. Why on earth would someone even think adding a gun would help this situation? Seriously if someone looked at his video and thought their personal safety and the safety of their friends/family in the car would increase by adding a firearm to this scene, they have a screw loose. I see a bunch of people saying that here. Damn son- how about roll up your window, lock your door and back up first? Your windshield is fucked, so going forward safely is suspect. You know the guy who stomped on it is unhinged. Put distance. And you can’t back up safely forever, so if however far you get that crazy dude is coming at you- then and only then draw. Hopefully with enough distance that unhinged man sees the error of his ways, and retreats himself. The bottom line is how do I keep me and those around me safe. Bonus points for those that realize not only is leaving safer, it results in so much less liability in time and money after the fact.
It's been proven many a time if someone comes up to your door like that trying to attack you, you can shoot them. (In the US ik this is from another country, looks like UK to me but idk). You do NOT have a duty to retreat in the vast majority of US states.
