Not for simply being on your property, no. A certain set of conditions have to exist before the use of lethal force is authorised. Lethal force may not be used to defend yourself if you were the one who provoked the confrontation. It may not be used to defend against simple assault. There must be an imminent threat of death, maiming injury, or rape. You also have a duty to retreat from a situation of using lethal force if possible to do so. I don't know if Maryland has a castle law or not, but, even if they do, it only removes your duty to retreat when you're actually inside your home or personal vehicle - it doesn't apply to the property outside of your home.

Can you use a legally owned handgun to prevent a crime in progress if you do not have a license to carry a concealed weapon?
Laws are complicated, which is why we have lawyers. So yes, you can use a legally owned handgun to prevent a crime in progress, even if you do not have a license to carry a concealed weapon. However, if you shoot someone, or kill someone, you may still be accused of having used excessive or unnecessary force. Even if you do not shoot anyone, but you do discharge the gun and damage some property as a result, the owner of that property may sue you. So I won't tell you that this is entirely free of risk.
