A North Carolina homeowner found a man in his car, presumably thinking he was attempting to steal it. But the homeowner is the one facing charges.
A 51-year-old man went outside shortly before 3:30 AM this past Tuesday and found a man in his vehicle. We can assume words were exchanged, but the only detail we have about what happened next is that the suspect ran. And that is when the homeowner shot at the fleeing suspect. The suspect was hit, and paramedics took him to the hospital with serious injuries. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
