Doubtful IMO. Most smash and grab thieves (OK most thieves in general) are cowards and prey on soft targets. This particular target wasn't soft.
Unfortunately even if the "door kicker" gets arrested for attempted burglary, the "kickee" may face assault charges seeing that he is pointing a (presumed) loaded firearm at someone outside his house (and was stupid enough to broadcast it to the world).
ETA: When the PD does arrive, unless the guy admits to attempted burglary, then it's "he said-he said" time.
"He tried to kick in my door."
"No I didn't. I just slipped on your door mat and fell against the door. I was here to share with you the "Good News" about your savior."
