Are you flippin kidding me? You are so full of shit, and so damn stupid, that it is laughable. Look, I admit, I am in North Carolina, but you break into my house and I will filet your ass like you were being prepared for a Chinese buffet.
Your website is comical, every link goes to a lawyer referral site. Look it, someone breaks into your home and you blow their ass away, you don't need a flippin lawyer. In fact, your site's link practically admits that, unless the culprit is law enforcement, and to be honest, that don't make two shits. The police knock down my door with a no-knock warrant they are going to be looking at a knife in the throat and I don't need a referral from some lame ass website.
You'll be fine in North Carolina.
I'll be better in Missouri.
In D.C., even in your home...unless you are under IMMEDIATE THREAT OF DEATH...you have a duty to retreat...even from your own home.
" The self-defense laws for Maryland, Virginia and D.C. vary, but each jurisdiction has some type of law in place that addresses when it's deemed legally justified to use a firearm in self-defense.
Both Maryland and Virginia follow what's called a castle doctrine, which allows homeowners to use deadly force to protect themselves, their home and their family. However, the use of deadly force must be considered reasonable.
Here's a break down of the laws in D.C., Maryland and Virginia:
D.C.
The District does not have a law targeted specifically to a home intruder. In terms of self-defense, D.C. has a law that states a person can defend themselves when they truly believe that they're in danger of bodily harm or death. However, the law also states the person is required to take reasonable measures by stepping back or walking away.
Section 22-40503.01 of D.C.'s law allows someone to use a firearm if it's done in legitimate self-defense. For more information on the laws,

It's late at night and an intruder is trying to get inside your home. What do you do? How do you defend yourself?

IOW... you're fucking wrong as the day is long.
Now keep your fucking mouth shut when you have no fucking earthly idea what the fuck you're talking about and calling those who DO idiots.
Savvy?
P.S. - D.C. IS NOT the only area where this applies.
If your state does NOT have a Castle Doctrine Law or equivalent on the books ... you better make DAMN sure you know what laws apply to a home invasion situation.
