It's worked quite well here over the years--hope the folks in Florida get something similar to protect their rights to self-preservation/defense without having to worry about some fanatic lib prosecutor going after them in such a situation.
the Florida A.G. is so damm corrupt as evidenced on how they went fishing so as to try and nail Rush Limbaugh on trumped up charges - howbeit the housekeeper is the reall drugpusher and criminal in the case.
Here's Oklahoma's version of the "Castle Doctrine":
"§21-1289.25. Physical Or Deadly Force Against Intruder

This was used acouple days ago up in Delaware County.
A guy woke up and found someone standing in his bedroom door,grabbed his gun and fired,hitting the perp, the perp ran for the door and the homeowner ran after him and shot him again.The perp ran to the yard, collapsed and died. The D.A. ruled it "Justifiable homicide".
pong!
