Good reply A-R.
Remember the threat of deadly force is not the use of deadly force. Shouting something like, "Get away from my property or I'll shoot" or even "brandishing" your weapon is not use of deadly force. As you said, things could go into the toilet real fast if you do something like this.

Re: Can You Shoot to Protect Property in TEXAS
First, welcome.
I am a Texas CHL instructor and I tell my classes it is legal in Texas to use deadly force to protect property. But I also tell them that's why I have insurance on my property to protect it. In my mind shooting someone over "stuff" is not worth the headache. Life and limb - - - you shouldn't have done that cause you just aggravated a GOM (Grumpy Old Man).
I hope this answer helps you. Hang around some there are questions about Louisiana law that comes up pretty often.

edit: Anyone who has $19,000 worth of guns in their car/truck probably has insurance on them and should not worry about shooting the perp. Too many hassles.
