Yeah, I have never heard of any law in North Carolina which says that you can't brandish a firearm in self-defense outside of your home/apartment. Within my immediate circle of friends/acquaintances who own guns, I know two who have scared off hoodlums by brandishing firearms defensively against them. Neither of them seemed to think they'd broken the law.

And even if such a law existed, how would they enforce it? Do they expect the thugs themselves to go running to the police and say, "That muh'fuckin cracker pointed a shotgun at me while I was breaking into his car to steal his speakers, yo!" That strikes me as, um, counter-productive.
