Spyder stolen @ gun point

[mindman]

North Carolina has the Castle Doctrine. It should be noted that the Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground are similar but not the same. Castle Doctrines vary by state. If someone breaks into my house and attacks me or a member of my family, I can use deadly force. Note that deadly force is not necessarily the use of a firearm. However, if that individual does not attack or threaten bodily harm but has intent to steal something, the use of deadly force is not authorized. The Castle Doctrine also includes my vehicles or any other place I am rightfully inhabiting. Wikipedia has a synopsis of state laws regarding retreat or defend.

Hey Bruiser...no disrespect intended but didn't you state in an earlier post that the thread had descended into a discussion about carrying and it should stop or you would close the thread down? Did I miss something?

Very vague. Wondering if there is more to this story...but as far as the carry statements..remember, being armed, while it may give you a sense of security also carries a very large degree of responsibility. That round, when fired, cannot come back. And in some jurisdictions, being confronted by someone with a "weapon" is not justification to use deadly force. Understand, I am a registered firearm owner and licensed in the state I live. I am a former law enforcement official. I choose not to carry, even though I can. I would rather step off my Spyder, and let the looney have it rather than lose my life.

I agree with all that you stated, if you are not willing to use that firearm ......................... leave it home. :thumbup:

But, i too am a retired law enforcement officer and believe in the adage ........... better to be tried by 12 than carried by six. :thumbup::thumbup:

Just because you give them the key or your wallet, that does not mean that they won't hurt or kill you, that only works in TV westerns. :thumbup:

Be fair, but be prepared.

What I said was be nice so I don't have to close it down.

Got it...my misunderstanding.
