Allow me to present you all with a (not so) hypothetical situation. Let’s say that a man (let’s be creative and call him Mr. Doe) is at home on a February evening and fighting a head cold. He takes some cold meds and lays down to get some sleep.
Sometime around 7 (it’s dark outside), Mr. Doe is startled awake by a banging on his door. He says that the banging is so loud that he thinks someone might be kicking the door. Mr. Doe grabs his pistol, opens the door and points it at the person banging on his door, which turns out to be a pizza delivery guy that went to the wrong house. Mr. Doe did not order a pizza and was not expecting anyone to come to his house.
Is Mr. Doe guilty of a crime? My opinion (based on a reading of the Oklahoma Firearms Act with an emphasis on 21 OS 1289.16 and 21 OS 1289.25) is a resounding HELL NO. That being said, I may be biased given my political leanings and knowledge of Mr. Doe’s character.
