I know it is the law in your state, but the idea of having a duty to retreat in your own home, is so foreign to me and really kind of unbelievable.

Here in OKlahoma, it isn't that way, and its not that uncommon for residents to defend their homestead with lethal force and walk away from the situtation with very little legal aftermath.

That is not to say that these kinds of shootings are not scrutinized, by both law enforcement and prosecutors, they are. As they well should be.
