Wouldn't you be charged with murder if that person did not shoot at you 1st and you returned the fire in self defense? Once again depending on what state you live in.
I wish that law was the same in NC but we're only allowed to protect ourselves if our lives are in danger.... not property.

That's it!!!

But of course, would have shot him if I got the chance...Better to get a good description of him and the car and let the cops do something besides write tickets......

I think the first thing you say to the law when they show up after is "I felt like I was in mortal danger and he was going to kill me anyway" - then you probably wouldn't be charged with anything, even if you got lucky and killed the bastard - I would hope not anyway....

My blue C5 - Raleigh, NC here, what's up?

I hope you have called the cops and filed a report anyway. These guys should be arrested for attempted armed robbery...and probably a few other things...
