Now this I agree with BUT in NC you have the duty to retreat when not on your premises or the premises of the place of your employment so chasing them down the road may still not be in his favor.

Maybe it could be said he chased them to identify them or whatever...they pulled a gun...so he shot them ?

fortunatly our legal system doesnt require him to prove he had a gun pointed at him. it i s the prosecution's job to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was not in fear for his life when he was confronting some ghetto scum who had broken into his house, tied him up, stole a firearm and fled with his possessions. the burden is on the prosecution. a good lawyer can get him off, a bad lawyer can get his trial postponed until he's offered a deal that suits him

Have to remember that the 4 guys now had at least 2 guns, so the old man may very well have feared for his life after catching up to them. I don't blame him for trying to chase them down. If he'd just called the police like the kid's mom wanted, the only thing the police would have done is say, "sorry you got robbed, here's a case number." If the same kids robbed enough people the same way, the police might eventually get a lead on who's doing it, or the kids would eventually be shot in someone's home. At least they got caught this time.

With 4 guys and two guns he must not have been in very much fear for his life, to have chased them down.

You can't say that he didn't fear for his life once he caught up with them... I know I've gotten myself into situations where I've reacted then realized I was in over my head... It really bothers me that people aren't allowed to defend/protect their personal property.

A planned act is much different than a heat of the moment reaction.
