My brother is a Florida gun owner, and I know, full well, that he can kill someone who breaks into his house. He's up shit-creek, though, if he kills someone who's vandalizing his front yard...

If a bunch of people refuse to leave your property, and begin vandalizing it, you could reasonably fear for you safety, it would depend on the circumstances, if he walks out the front door with a shotgun and tells them to get off his property, he would probably have a case for shooting them if they began vandalizing his property, if they approached him in a manner he found threatening, he would definitely be within his rights in "stand your ground state", I'm not sure if Nevada has anything to override the common law "duty to retreat to avoid violence".
