Let's hope bullets aren't found inside other homes nearby. A miss with .223 in a residential area isn't a pleasant thing to contemplate.

I agree. An AR15 is a lot of firepower for home defense.

It depends. If the intruders were inside his house and armed, he'd be fine anywhere. If they were not armed or he chased one out and smoked him, that could be problematic anywhere in the U.S.

I don't think either of you are correct.

I believe that if an intruder is INSIDE YOUR HOME (my emphasis, sorry just clarifying that), then you do not have to verify that person can kill you before you shoot. In other words, they have to be inside your home when you shoot them. If so, then you do not have to be in imminent danger.

On the other hand, he'd probably do time for the type of weapon used, so.... :(

In California they want you to saw the home intruders in half with buckshot.

BTW, if this happens in your place of business, I wonder if you have to have the robber fill out a questionnaire before you can defend yourself. I should find out.

He will not have a problem it the law. He should get a medal for good shooting.

Nope, all he has to say is he was in fear for his life. Three men dressed in black are not there to sell Girl Scout cookies. They broke in planning to do bad things. He was afraid, dead bad guys. All ends well.

Castle doctrine applies in most rational parts of the USA. If they break into your house you automatically have reason to fear for your life and can defend yourself. This guy has nothing to worry about legally.

FIFY ... my thoughts exactly ^

Sends a powerful message to other idiots thinking about committing crimes. The media should report more of this kind of news.....Oh wait, that goes against thier liberal agenda !

Has it come out yet when/where the dead guy in the driveway was shot? Because, if he was shot in the back while fleeing and already outside of the house, the shooter needs a good lawyer.

^^^ This. :D

The article implies that he was shot inside and was trying to leave when he collapsed in the drive way. My interpretation but seems plausible from the write-up. If this is true, the homeowner's son should be in the clear.

Get away driver has a big problem though. Due to the death of the others in commission of a felony, she can be charged with Felony Murder, which typically is a Death Penalty offense. OK law allows for this charge when the accused or another person takes a life during the commission of the underlying felony. This will also require a charge of conspiracy to commit the aggravated robbery or whatever felony is charged for that offense.

The kid was 19. Wonder how CA woulda handled this situation.....

Unfortunately, when one stands in front of a jury, there are no absolutes.

We all hope the justice system will allow one to protect their own home, but this guy better get a lawyer.

The opposition will soon have the bad guy's mothers on TV, in tears, telling the camera "He was such a good boy. Deadly force was overkill, doncha know...."

I agree with you on the no absolutes at trial notion.

However, we are talking about Oklahoma where they take this sort of intrusion into a person's home seriously.

This will have to get passed a Grand Jury and the DA before it sees the light of day in court. I'm going with that not likely happening.

Yep "I felt threatened" and was "In fear of my life" is the only two sentences the 19 year old needs to say !

And another great thing for the kid.....no witnesses to dispute his story !

In NJ there is a "Duty to Retreat" so the homeowner might be in trouble if it happened here.

I think that the jury pool would be the citizens of broken bow Oklahoma means he's in no great danger.

All the shooter has to say, is the bad guys last words were "I'm going to kill you mother F**ker" That is all the threat needed to waste them all.
