I was told the same thing by my CC instructor, although I guarantee a trigger job and "punisher" ammo (They even have an ammo called RIP) will be brought up as proof you were looking for an opportunity to kill someone in both criminal and civil cases. He also stated that being in shady areas or shady situations while armed, even if you have every right to be there, is a bad idea and should be avoided if at all possible. Also noted that even though you have the right to stand your ground, you should use every opportunity to escape the situation. If the prosecutor decides to charge you, even if you prevail, you will be put through the ringer of the legal system. Better to not give any appearance of intent.
Here in Virginia you can't used deadly force to protect property. Even if someone rolled up to my rural property and decided to help themselves to my stuff, I can't even point a gun at them to chase them off (brandishing).
