Yes, you can expect more crimes against property now that there are so
many
unemployed Mexicans on the street. There are going to be a lot more.
The supreme court has ordered California to reduce its prison
overpopulation, so there are going to be a lot more dangerous Mexicans
and Blacks on our highways and streets.

What, they're not going to release any crazed white dudes like yourself?

That was my point exactly. Going back to Thumper's original story, I don't
see that the individual involved did anything that would rise to the level
of requiring deadly force.
However, it would also be a legitimate point to make that people can do
things that don't [yet] rise to the level of deadly force but that would
make an ordinary person feel very threatened or may be leading towards a
situation where deadly force is appropriate. Cornering someone in their own
garage is one such behavior. It could be a lead-in for far more serious
behavior.
Bernard Goetz (spelling?) comes to mind. There are a lot ways to ask
someone for $5; some more threatening than others.
It is hard to know whether a person is a normal person who is just
frustrated, an unusual individual, or dangerous.
99 times out of a 100, producing a firearm will cause the other party to
depart. But for that 1 out of 100, you have to be legally and morally
justified in pulling the trigger. If you shoot someone for trying to take a
gun away from you, the question will naturally arise of why you had a gun in
play in the first place.
Bearspray seems a better overall solution.
Guns are really bad news in marginal situations.

Hate to mention it, but the time a cop determines to shot or not is around 2
seconds. Stretch that out to ten seconds and the perp wins. If you are not
a cop, in court you will undoubtedly lose since the defense will stack the
jury against you. CA has the "equal force" law as well that is preached in
gun ownership classes.

Pepperspray is also problematic. Brandishing or using it without good
reason is also a felony.
