[QUOTE="fredkrueger, post: 1782294"] Castle doctrine was introduced to Oklahoma back in 2006. It made great changes in laws that now protect us as gun owners. Now if someone uses force to enter a home or "dwelling" that is all you need to be able to shoot them. Before you had to have a reason to shoot them other than them breaking in. It allows a person to protect themselves from "great bodily injury" and that provision isn't limited to the home. It has a "criminal immunity" provision. It prohibits arrest of a person that uses force in self-defense, unless there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful. It also has a "civil immunity" provision that protects defenders against lawsuits by their assailants or their assailants' families. As of now there are 30 states that currently have NRA backed Castle Doctrine laws. 27 have general or limited "stand your ground" provisions, 13 have criminal immunity and 21 have civil immunity. I am sure glad that I live in Oklahoma. We have all of the Castle Doctrine. Not just bits and pieces. Also, the Castle Doctrine has a "stand your ground" and "no duty to retreat" provision. This provides that, when an act of self-defense is otherwise lawful, and takes place in a location in which the defender is lawfully present, the defender is not required to retreat from a felonious attack, or the threat of an attack. Hope I explained it good enough. [/QUOTE]
