Good for him! With so many BG's getting bolder with thier crimes these days, everybody needs to be more aware of thier surroundings than ever before.

I'm glad to see that this gentleman defended himself and his property!

NC's recently revised Castle Doctrine specifically addresses this issue. You are justified in using deadly force is someone is attempting to force entry into your home (or vehicle).

Under the new law, the lawful occupant of a home, motor vehicle or workplace isn’t required to retreat prior to using deadly force.
The new law presumes that a person who unlawfully and by force enters or attempts to enter one of these locations intends to commit an unlawful act involving force or violence."

Come on, AJ, get real; would his next-door neighbor, his nephew, or another family member be prying open his door with a screwdriver and hammer?
