"No duty to retreat" (or "stand your ground") laws in no way authorize the use of any level of force to protect property.

I'm pretty certain the wording I was taught in junior high was, "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I do not recall any mention of property. And I believe that phrase was in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
