I think some of you guys are wrong. It's not just protection of yourself. You can shoot to protect someone else who is in imminent danger of death or great bodily injury.
Nope, not wrong...We specifically asked about this situation...Like I said, if he comes after you, it's a different situation...
Another example...Say he is in your garage, in your car and stealing it...Can you stop him????
Thankfully, I live in Texas, where the legislature apparently is filled with sane people. I'm not wrong here. And the answer to your question about stealing my car out of my garage is: YES. BANG! Dead Perp.
So, you're saying that in NC, you've got to sit back and watch while someone repeatedly stabs your wife and children and you can't shoot until he actually comes at YOU. That's quite simply the most moronic thing I've ever heard.
Once again. GOD BLESS TEXAS!
