I believe that would be an improper use of deadly force in Oklahoma.

I have family members call me and ask if they would be justified in using deadly force, most misunderstand the requirements.

I saw that on the news.
Pool boy is lucky.
Maybe he will start working during daylight hours and phone customers ahead.

at the very least, if running late, make a call.

Was he caught while he was finishing his “affairs” with the misses .. thats the question

 

[Jim Diamantoni]

Ya got a point there KF

 

[HansGruber]

Yeah, it’s the pool boy’s fault, not the trigger-happy dumbf(ornicator).

 

[mikep]

Even if it was some bad dude i’d let him finish cleaning the pool first before i open fire.
Kidding! Kind of…. Well, it depends on how dirty the pool was.

In Oklahoma, you have to be able to convince a jury that you had reason to believe you life was in immediate danger.

that's the thing, it depends on what state we live in. for me, i think it would amount to unlawful discharging of a firearm, and God forbid i hit him, or someone else, outside my house.

gotta be IN da house to shoot at him....

More than enough stupid to go around for everybody.

So if someone is trying to kill you on your front lawn you have to let them ?

I’m waiting for that “drag them inside” chestnut…

No lie, the sheriff of my county ( long dead) once told me that. I was about 14. It went something like this:

Bob, it's a big county and we only have a few deputies. Sometimes ya gotta kill your own snakes. Just make sure they're inside before you call us.

that's about the only time i can shoot, and they must be armed.

in my state, there is a "duty to retreat"

if they are unarmed, i cannot use deadly force.

but, i cannot see myself asking questions first.

Yeah, I still hear that from people—none in LE, though…

My response is always “So you think tampering with a crime scene is a good idea?”

you are supposed to put them on display like the old west sheriffs did

That's ridiculous.

Yeah, it's a dumb idea and probably all the people that say it would be the first ones out the back door anyway.

History has shown us that even something as innocuous as picking up the perp's gun, in case he's still alive, can cost you your life.

 

[Old_Me]

That's ridiculous.

yup.......
