I think I would not test this particular defense if at all possible.
The wording of law is vague and that is not really a good thing, it means it is up to the opinion of other people (the DA, judge, 12 random people who couldn’t get out of jury duty) to determine whether your actions would be found justified or not. In my opinion, the safe choice is to avoid using deadly force with regard to protecting material things, now protecting people is completely different.
