The incidences of road rage and allegations of shooting into occupied vehicles have increased substantially in Raleigh and throughout North Carolina.
Discharging a firearm or “barreled weapon,” as is described in North Carolina General Statute Chapter 14-34.1, is a felony criminal charge. That NC Criminal Law is interpreted by Courts in NC to be broadly interpreted.
The law against shooting into buildings and vehicles, when they are “occupied,” includes several different types of conveyances, buildings, structures, equipment, devices, and enclosures.
