I’ll ask you:

Right or wrongly you confront trespassers on your property they refuse to leave and appear they have had plenty to drink. One of the group grabs a rock and starts towards you a second member of the party grabs your arm. Do you shoot?

If they have an easement to be on my property, they are not trespassers. If they grab a rock after I have brandished a gun, fired shots in the air and at their feet, it is likely because I have put them in imminent fear of great bodily harm, and they are doing whatever they can (no matter how little) to protect themselves. (i.e., utilizing their right to self defense).

The premises of your question are nowhere close to the undisputed facts of this case.
