For what it's worth, I have a concealed carry license in Texas. Couple of comments: you should always be 1000% sure that you fully understand the situation prior to taking action. You should never be so cavalier as to say you would automatically shoot someone in that situation. BUT, in Texas you do have the right to protect a third part in that situation:
PC §9.33.
Defense of Third Person
A person is justified in using force or deadly force against another to protect a third person if:
(1) under the circumstances as the actor reasonably believes them to be, the actor would be justified under Section 9.31 or 9.32 in using force or deadly force to protect himself against the unlawful force or unlawful deadly force he reasonably believes to be threatening the third person he seeks to protect; and
(2) the actor reasonably believes that his intervention is immediately necessary to protect the third person.
Also, you can only use deadly force to protect your property under the following situations:
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
