IIRC it is called the Castle Doctrine in Flordia, alot of states have it, I think it is pretty much the same as our Stand Your Ground law
Actually Oklahoma patterned our SYG law off of Florida's law due to the success Florida saw with their law.

WOW, just read from another forum & a member who is local to this event that 3 of the teenage girls who were involved have been on the news with their parents claiming they are the victims & the kids were just innocently waiting on a ride & it was the couples fault.
Never ceases to amaze me how utterly blind some people are to how their kids can act when mommy & daddy arent around. Its like its unbelievable to them that their kids could do any wrong. Or they know they did wrong but will still defend them to their fullest.

I cannot get the article to pull up, but in Oklahoma, if you are facing a disparity of force, then yes, you are justified in using deadly force.
I have been told disparity of force is man on woman, man on child, or multiple attackers on anyone.
Cite?
I was taught in my CCW course by an attorney that OK does not directly recognize disparity of force as a justifiable use of deadly force.
One must fear for their life, and the assailants must have the intent, opportunity and means to commit severe or lethal harm before one may use deadly force against them (exception to that being the SDA laws).
In a case where a 100 teens are coming after you common sense would seem to be that yeah your life is threatened but how would you prove that the one that got shot and died met the criteria; especially if the unlucky one to get hit was 14 and a girl for example? Might be pretty tough to do. Shooting into a mob? Interesting legal question. Maybe one of our resident barristers can weigh in on this.
That marine was in a really difficult situation. He and his wife were extremely lucky.
