A lawyer would have field day with that...
"Oh, so you confronted someone with a gun drawn? How exactly were you not looking to use deadly force in the defense of property then? What exactly were you planning on doing with that gun?"
FWIW I wish more people WOULD just shoot thieves dead. It would start fixing the problem, but of course our system doesn't want that. They want to have justification to keep siphoning money out of everyone's pocket in order to subsidize ineffective (and expensive) law enforcement efforts. Allowing the citizenry to be self-reliant only means people are less dependent on the government and its employees - and that cannot be tolerated.
