The new Castle Doctrine Law in NC says a person does not have to warn or scare a person who is trying to do them harm at home, work, or in their house. When this fool raised the hammer in an attempt to rob the store he was fair game for the use of deadly force. You do not have to give warning or try to get away like you did in the past. You can now stand your ground. The DA could not have charged the store clerk even if he had wanted to the law is clear, you do not have to run away any more, so crooks and idiots should beware!!!!
