Oklahoma Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Under Oklahoma's Self-Defense Act, when can lethal force NOT be legally used?

1. To prevent a felony

2. In defense of home or property

3. To prevent vehicle theft

4. In response to a verbal threat alone

The correct answer is: In response to a verbal threat alone

Under Oklahoma's Self-Defense Act, lethal force cannot be legally used in response to a verbal threat alone. In the state of Oklahoma, the use of lethal force is only justified when there is an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm. A verbal threat, without any accompanying actions or circumstances that would indicate immediate danger, is not sufficient grounds to use lethal force. It is important to understand the laws and regulations regarding the use of firearms for self-defense in order to ensure that individuals act responsibly and within the bounds of the law.
