Anyone know what is up with SB-34? haven't heard anything since it crossed over.
Why worry about it? NC has always had something to the effect but not called the "Castle Doctrine".

"§ 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.)"
All true AND it would be nice if and when this extends to my car. Most say I drive a pretty nice sprots car with alloy 19" 275 35 tires (stock) and I can't tell you how many punks eye-F*** me and my car. It's only a matter of time.
I bet my 265's on 17's on my spRotz cah are just about as wide as your 275's on 19's.... and trust me, I know the feeling.

Castle Doctrines are legislated by state though not all states in the US have a Castle Doctrine law. The term "Make My Day Law"comes from the landmark 1985 Colorado statute that protects people from any criminal charge or civil suit if they use force – including deadly force ................It is sometimes considered derogatory as it may be used to imply that those who assert the Castle Doctrine defense want to have to shoot their assailant. More pejorative is the term "Shoot The Milkman Law",
