[QUOTE="Bahick71, post: 3770514, member: 50119"] There are alot of things that go into if you will be charged or not. The DA is the major deciding factor. In Oklahoma, even if they kick your door in, but they are not armed, you can be charged, because you used more excessive force against them, then they brought bear to you. I have been told by lawyers, police officers, a judge, and firearms instructors, shoot to kill, not to wound. The other eye opening thing I was told by a lawyer was, your home defense gun, or carry gun, should be plain jane, out of the box, no mods. He said the reason is that if you have a heavily modified gun, the jury can, with the aid of an attorney, paint the picture that you were itching to use that modified gun. I have read about cases that guys should not have been charged, and they were, and the other way around. In Woodward a few years ago, we had two guys having an argument. The one guy went to the others house, was knocking on his front door, unarmed, telling him to come outside The guy inside, behind a locked, and dead bolted door, fired through the door, killing the other guy. He was never charged with anything. Basiclly he got away with murder. There were several witnesses that said he was not trying kick the door, just knocking and yelling. It was all up to the DA. So in the end, who knows what will happen. I hope that I never have to find out, but I am ready no matter what. [/QUOTE]
