In NC you can only apply deadly force if you or your loved ones are subject to death, bodily harm or rape. One the threat is stopped, you must cease fire. Further action could put you at risk for murder. You cannot go running down the street firing 33 rounds from your Glock 17 at a guy who stole your wallet.

Somehow I thought they changed the NC law to allow you to shoot if someone is breaking into your house. Once they are in your house it’s only allowed if you feared for your life. Perhaps some NC folks can clarify that.

Same in Illinois as far as I know.
