We repeat this time and time, "Do not fire warning shots." If you are pulling a gun on someone, you should be ready to use it. And in this case, the warning shots did nothing to scare off the suspect.
I want to start this story off by saying that it is safe to say that the man in this incident was not legally carrying. North Carolina requires a concealed carry permit from North Carolina or any other state to carry concealed legally. North Carolina is not a Constitutional Carry state.
