Stand Your Ground in Oklahoma

"Stand Your Ground" movement beginning in Oklahoma:

A Del City lawmaker is introducing a 'Stand Your Ground' law to bolster the ability of citizens to use deadly force if they feel they are in danger outside the home.

Rep. Kevin Calvey said his bill will be patterned after a new Florida statute and will essentially expand Oklahoma's 'Make My Day Law,' named for a line in a Clint Eastwood detective movie.

Under that law, citizens can use deadly force in their homes to protect themselves from intruders.

Calvey said he wants to give citizens the right to use deadly force to protect themselves if they perceive they are in danger in any place a person has a right to be, such as their office, a supermarket or on the street.

The bill, he said, will "enhance people's inherit [sic] right of self defense and give law-abiding gun owners the right to defend themselves against criminals.
