[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3765053, member: 27284"] Hi. I'm not trying to be an ass or a jerk. It's one thing to ask other people, either on line here, or in person that you meet. Let's get one thing perfectly straight and clear: You do NOT want to be in a position where you are sent to jail or prison. What about your family, how will they survive? Personally, I believe that if something is that important, I'd get some legal advice. So what if you costs you a couple 3 or 4 or 5 hundred bucks? You can't afford it? YOU CAN"T AFFORD NOT TO !!! I believe I'd take the certified real Oklahoma Self Defense Class, or whatever they call it nowadays, the one you take to get your State Permit to Carry. I'd ONLY take the one where a licensed Attorney, a member of the State Bar on good standing will speak and then take and answer questions. Then I'd call around and find out who, among the Criminal Defense attorneys, has defended someone in this manner. Then I'd make an appointment with at least 1, or 2, to talk to me so that I have a crystal clear idea of what could happen. You may, or may not, be able to get some free time to talk. Of course, the Attorney can't ask every "what if" question because there are too many variables, but you should come away with a really good understanding of the basic principles of self defense, what the police may do, what the legal system may do, etc. I'm not a rich man, but I'd darn sure be happy to spend a few hundred or a thousand bucks so that I am reasonably educated to understand the pitfalls and such, and thus the consequences that may or may not be coming. Keeping my family from becoming homeless and hungry motivates me quite well. No joke, folks, if you get on the wrong side of the law, it doesn't a darn bit of difference what someone told you on the internet. . [/QUOTE]
