Not sure how many of you have been keeping up with this, but as of Dec. 1st, it's now in effect. http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/Sessions/2011/Bills/House/PDF/H650v5.pdf
A lot of you are armed as well, but it's certainly something to read through as the crime rises around the holidays. My wife and I are in an affluent area and there have been a lot more break-ins and robberies recently, so this is good to keep in mind now that you no longer have to retreat before protecting your property. It not only applies to your home, but now your car, office and even campsite/tent.
Be safe out there! --Ryan
