What's reasonable in defense of property?

Just wondering what everybody's position is on this sub-reddit on defense of property from criminal mischief or theft, assuming that these situations occur in a stand your ground state. I've checked out r/CCW for a while and don't really like their view that you can't defend property at all without being considered an aggressor. If you carry a weapon, but still chose to confront a thief or vandal, as long as you don't brandish the weapon or threaten them with it, there shouldn't be a problem. If while struggling with the thief he pulls his own gun shouldn't you still be justified in defending yourself? the thief or thieves chose to steal from you, then when confronted, they escalated it to armed robbery and possibly attempted murder. You didn't go and commit a crime on their property, they came to you and then never attempted to withdraw in good faith when confronted. What's your opinions on defending property?
