First I am in no way advocating the shooting of property thieves.
I have been told countless times that in Oklahoma you can only use deadly force in the limited cases listed in the Self-Defense act. All references there require that you be in fear of your or others life or of great bodily injury.
However in the Oklahoma Constitution it says this.

What if anything have the Courts ruled on this? Somehow I believe that they probably would say it does not mean what it says.STATE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION
The right of a citizen to keep and bear arms in defense
of his home, person, or property, or in aid of the civil
power, when thereunto legally summoned, shall never be
prohibited, but nothing herein contained shall prevent
the legislature from regulating the carrying of weapons.
Article 2, Section 26.
