The correct answer is: When facing an imminent threat of death or serious injury

Using deadly force is only lawful in self-defense in North Carolina when facing an imminent threat of death or serious injury. This means that it is not allowed to protect personal property, defend yourself in a public area, or stop a theft by using deadly force. Deadly force should only be used as a last resort when facing an immediate threat of death or serious physical harm.
