[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1305831, member: 239"] Oklahoma law is relevant not the law in other states. The fact is that OK law states quite clearly that if someone enters your residence unlawfully that they are presumed to be there with the intent to cause you lethal or severe bodily harm. That's it pure and simple. Sure the DA can probably charge you if you blow someone away in the middle of the night who unlawfully entered your home but the burden of proof is on him to prove you were not defending yourself or others and that's pretty tough to do. SDA doesn't cover every eventuality - no law can but I am unaware of anyone being prosecuted that fell under it without there being fishy circumstances involved like luring the deceased to your home as an example. Give it up Bruno2. This is OK not NY or CA. If someone breaks into your home you are within the law to shoot them. You may have to defend yourself at trial (rare that it happens here) but if you do odds are strongly in your favor you'll get a walk. [/QUOTE]
