What is Oklahoma's stance on the Castle Doctrine, allowing you to defend yourself in your home?

It is not recognized in Oklahoma
You have the duty to retreat first
You have the right to stand your ground
It only applies during night time

The correct answer is: You have the right to stand your ground

Oklahoma has adopted stand your ground laws which allows individuals to use deadly force to defend themselves without the obligation to retreat first. This means that if someone tries to break into your home, you are legally allowed to use force to protect yourself and your property. Option A is incorrect because Oklahoma does recognize the Castle Doctrine, which allows people to use deadly force to defend themselves in their homes. Option B is incorrect because in stand your ground states, there is no obligation to retreat before using force. Option D is incorrect because stand your ground laws do not only apply during night time, but rather at any time when someone feels their life is threatened.
