North Carolina man not charged in deadly shooting; ‘acted to defend himself’
by: Dustin George
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WSPA) — No charges have been filed in a shooting that left one person dead and others injured over the weekend in Asheville.According to the Asheville Police Department, at around 12:07 a.m. Sunday officers were called to Rankin Avenue near College Street for a reported shooting. At the scene, they found Andy Garcia Porras dead in the roadway and multiple others who were hit or grazed by gunfire.
Is it legal to shoot someone in self-defense in North Carolina?
After investigating the shooting, police, in consultation with the Buncombe County District Attorney’s Office, determined the shooting was in self-defense.According to police, the incident began when the bouncer of a nightclub saw two men, including Porras, harassing a group of women and then denied those men entry into the club.
Police said Poras’ friend argued with the bouncer and the argument turned physical. Someone else at the club came to help the bouncer and tried to de-escalate the situation. Porras was reportedly heard by witnesses saying he was going to get a gun from his car and left the scene.
Police said Porras returned with a gun in hand and after a scuffle, the patron drew his own gun and both he and Porras reportedly shot at each other, resulting in several people being hit.
The patron left the scene but later turned himself in to the custody of the police.

Instant asshole, just add alcohol. Thanks again, Gun Bunny.
Americans who value freedom had better be more concerned about the gun control crowd than the criminals. The criminals want your money. The Neo-Totalitarians want your freedom.

“Drunk and stoopid is no way to go thru life, son.” Oh…wait…his life is through! Good riddance. Tar Heel!
If one must have a plinker, let it be one designed by His Most Saintly…John Moses Browning…(Howitzer Be His Name!)
Pro tip for all those that pounded their F5/Refresh key yesterday waiting for the Vaunted TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread to drop after the posting of The Valor Friday Post. Today is actually Friday, the WOT should drop, and the Gun Bunny will be out and about for a good portion of the day, leaving the field wide open for any and all that want to EARN (never awarded) the elusive FIRST. Good Luck and may the best(?) d’weeded and/or Adorable Deplorable win.
My Freedom? Take note, despot!
I don’t want your freedom…I want your women so I can hear their lamentations….whatever those are. I assume they’re some kind of musical instrument only women can play…

If you want a plinker designed by JMB, get a Woodsman. If you want one improved by his grandson Bruce, get a Challenger, Nomad, or Medalist. If you want the current iteration of that basic design, get a Buckmark. I prefer the thicker steel barrel model with slab sides, but that’s just me.
My Hi Standard Victor .22 comp gun looks a little like the above Buck Mark
