The law supports my ability to use force to detain a trespasser. Pretty simple concept.

The only right that you have in my house is the right to enter if invited to do so. Everything else is a privilege.
Yes, but in some places your property MUST have signs CLEARLY posted. If not then YOU have just confronted someone with a gun that entered your property unknowingly.

And if he decides to produce a firearm to protect himself, now what are you going to do?

Like I said, I have no reason to enter private property. But if for some reason I did and was confronted by an armed man, I would seek cover and produce my own gun.

Someone that tries to "detain" me by using force will be met with equal or greater force.

Where I come from, we approach people in a respectful manner until given a reason not to. Detaining someone only escalates the problem. If they come back, call 911.
