Lukem, et. al.,
Doesn't NC have any exceptions for Active Duty Military to the requirements for CCW? I wrote my Sheriff in the county and he has not responded yet.
Anyone?
Hooyah!
Copied and pasted from your Resident Permit link:
"Deadly Force / Castle Doctrine:
North Carolina is a Castle Doctrine state and has a stand-your-ground law."
Not correct.
Resto Guy;
NC is a Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground Law State, you Sir, stand corrected!
North Carolina is NOT a Castle Doctrine state. The General Assembly just had a meeting yesterday about whether or not to bring Castle Doctrine to NC. the proposed bill I saw stated that it would go into affect Dec of 2011
What about this?
GS_14-51.1
§ 14‑51.1. Use of deadly physical force against an intruder.
(a) A lawful occupant within a home or other place of residence is justified in using any degree of force that the occupant reasonably believes is necessary, including deadly force, against an intruder to prevent a forcible entry into the home or residence or to terminate the intruder's unlawful entry (i) if the occupant reasonably apprehends that the intruder may kill or inflict serious bodily harm to the occupant or others in the home or residence, or (ii) if the occupant reasonably believes that the intruder intends to commit a felony in the home or residence.
(b) A lawful occupant within a home or other place of residence does not have a duty to retreat from an intruder in the circumstances described in this section.
(c) This section is not intended to repeal, expand, or limit any other defense that may exist under the common law. (1993 (Reg. Sess., 1994), c. 673, s. 1.)
This is a "stand your ground" clause type of law. The difference between the two is that castle doctrine exempts me from civil law suites. As the law stands, even if my shooting is deemed legal, the family can still sue me for shooting their sweet, innocent, church going boy.
Castle doctrine would protect me from such BS.
