I don't think that this is how he saw things working out. Police: 1 person shot, killed during attempted break-in Sunday morning
The shooting happened after 10:30 a.m., when police responded to a reported breaking and entering on Hickory Grove Road.
When officers arrived, they found one person with a gunshot wound.
This incident took place in Charlotte.
The hat tip goes to Concealed Nation, who have the details on North Carolina law.
Because the shooting occurred directly during the execution of an active residential breaking and entering, the legal framework heavily favors the occupant. Under North Carolina General Statutes § 14-51.2 (The Castle Doctrine), a lawful occupant of a home, workplace, or motor vehicle is legally presumed to have a reasonable fear of imminent death or serious bodily injury if an intruder is in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering – or has already forcefully entered – that occupied space.
Due to this statutory presumption, a homeowner has no duty to retreat and holds the absolute right to meet that intrusion with deadly force.
Self-defense is a human right.
