Funny you should say that because it looks like the African-American caucus in the NC state legislature has offered legislation to change this law. Being that this is NC, the bill has gone nowhere.
NC law is very clear and simple. You cannot use deadly force unless you feel that you're in danger of death or bodily harm. Per Adam, his local LEO's told him that if he heard rustling in his shed, he could start firing. That is wrong, wrong, wrong. What if he does hear rustling, starts shooting, and a 10 year old boy falls out of the shed with multiple GSW's. He will be charged with manslaughter, and will have to convince a jury that he feared for his life. If someone is breaking into your car, shed, outhouse, etc, and you're inside your home and are not in immediate danger, you cannot start shooting at them. Furthermore, if the criminal has committed a crime and is trying to flee, you cannot shoot at them. This lawyer does a good job of explaining it.
