People who are being victimized by a carjacker or home-invader, or who think they can save a life, can use deadly force under an expansion of North Carolina gun laws approved by the state House on Tuesday.
The House voted 76-39 for legislation that puts the burden of proof on prosecutors if there's a question whether a person was justified in firing at an intruder entering homes, cars or workplaces. The measure next heads to the Senate.

The gun bill also:
_ reduces the penalty for firearm possession on school grounds from a low-level felony to a misdemeanor and requires knowledge of wrongdoing.
_ cuts in half the time within which a sheriff must deny or issue a concealed handgun permit to 45 days.
_ accepts as valid any other states' concealed handgun permit.
_ allows firearms to be purchased in another state if buying requirements there are satisfied.

In liberal PC times like these, I have to admit I'm surprised to see bills like this, but I'm really happy to see it.
