Getting back to the main point of the thread, I think the consensus is that the 'Istanbul' drill is not the best idea. Correct?
Agreed: this is a requirement, but you seem to have misunderstood the question. Does the statute require the deadly peril be imminent before deadly force is allowed? For example, you have good reason to believe that someone intends to kill you in the future. Most states (Kansas, for example) specifically require that the danger be immediate and would not allow a deadly response. Why? Because in that instance, the police can intervene, thus negating the need for self-defense. So the question I asked is about any requirement in Oklahoma that a deadly threat be imminent.I believe it's fear of death or great bodily harm to yourself or others.
Doesn't the Oklahoma self-defense statutes require imminent danger to the lawful defender before deadly force can be legally employed? I thought they did but I can't find the statute.
I believe so as well, but for some reason, I couldn't find it in the statutes. Could you perhaps give me a hint as to where?Yes. The threat must be imminent.
