    Oklahoma has a lot of laws saying you can shoot anyone on your property and in your residence.

    I’m surprised their wasn’t a shootout, but don’t worry that day is fast approaching.

      The problem with the fantasy of home invasion is that you don’t get a fifteen minute notice to pull all your guns out and bunker down like you’re a Vietcong guerrilla.

      And anyone who thinks “if a cop breaks into my home, I’ll just shot them and that’ll be that” needs to learn about Ruby Ridge.

          Sure. And if you’re holding the shotgun when the first cop comes through the door, and you can get them before they get you, and you don’t mind the next thirty cops who come rolling up behind him looking for revenge, that’s great.

        Atatiana Jefferson was shot because the cops were snooping around her property. You dont even ha e to have the cops break in to get shot

          I mean, that was back during the halcyon era of prosecuting police officers who shoot civilians in their sleep. The offending officer received 11 years, 10 months, and 12 days - the jury picked the date of the shooting for the sentence - for manslaughter.

          But this was back in 2022 when the Dallas PD was Woke. Can’t imagine it happening today without a gubernatorial pardon in the mix.
