Oklahoma Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What is Oklahoma's stance on the 'Stand Your Ground' law?

1. There is no such law

2. It allows the use of force in self-defense with no duty to retreat in your home only

3. It allows the use of force in self-defense with no duty to retreat, anywhere you have the right to be

4. It is only applicable outside of city limits

The correct answer is: It allows the use of force in self-defense with no duty to retreat, anywhere you have the right to be

Oklahoma's stance on the 'Stand Your Ground' law is that it allows the use of force in self-defense with no duty to retreat, anywhere you have the right to be. This means that individuals have the legal right to use reasonable force to protect themselves in any location where they are lawfully present, not just in their own homes. It also means that they are not obligated to try to escape or retreat before using force in self-defense. Options A and D are incorrect because they both limit the scope of the law and do not accurately reflect Oklahoma's stance. Option B is also incorrect because it only applies to the home, whereas the 'Stand Your Ground' law in Oklahoma applies to any location where a person has the right to be.
