The opinion
Justice CARLTON
concurring.
I am in the majority solely because of our prior decisions. I wish to join Justice HUSKINS in urging the General Assembly to revise G.S. 20-166 to clarify its meaning and intent. The interpretation of G.S. 20-166 argued by the State and expressed in Justice Huskins’ dissent is clearly what the law ought to be.
