It is called the Sharia (but you must be against it for sure!).
Lets not go there. There have been many discussions on here about weapons and protection. Both for and against. I respect other's opinions on these discussions. But comparing this to Sharia Law, that is really pushing the boundaries of that respect. According to the law, and this is direct from the sheriff, she acted accordingly and therefore will not be prosecuted. The person she shot is a repeat offender. His name is well known to the law enforcement community. Whether you agree or not, I respect that. There have been many other instances of people protecting their lives/property that have resulted in prosecution because they did not follow the law. And believe me, the law is very strict on this matter. We who have taken the conceal carry course must be schooled in these laws and follow them to the letter. The simple act of showing your weapon can result in revocation of the license and a court hearing. If the perp runs away, you cannot shoot, or even fire a warning shot. You do not need a conceal carry to have a weapon on your property. Nor do guns need to be registered in this state. A right that is rapidly being taken away.
People are getting really tired of having to allow to the criminal element who feel it is their right to take what we worked for get, away with it. The courts at times. only give a slap on the hand, and their back on the street. I have had property taken from me, all it resulted in was my insurance rates going up. In most cases of property theft, all law enforcement can do is take a report. North Carolina, like several other states, has the Castle Doctrine. This allows me to protect my property, read that property, which includes my work shop and storage building, and my family from the threat of harm or theft. That also includes in public places like restaurants, malls, sidewalks etc. Does that mean I can shoot anyone, no. It is incumbent on me to abide by the law. I and I alone must decide, in a split second, if I can fire that weapon or not.
Sharia Law is completely different from what took place here. In fact do you really know what Sharia Law is?
