That's why you have a reverse gear on the car.
If there's heavy traffic and you don't have a clear avenue of rearward escape, I'd go forward into the guy & car. It'll probably make him hesitate & evade -at worse screwing up his shot. If he stands there and "takes it like a man" -that's what the bumper is there for.
Your pistol would be last resort. In a one-on-one (or 2:1), I'd roll out and try to use my vehicle as cover while I found even better cover. He may not show as much aggression after eating my truck, probably be even tamer after seeing me disappear behind my car with a .45.
I'd resort to shooting only if he's fired a shot, and I'm sure of what's downrange. This will give you your "self defense" argument in court later.
Your best option is to stay moving and get out of there as soon as possible. I doubt most thugs have much training hitting moving targets.
