Tonight prosecutors are asking themselves if this is a case of self-defense. The Make My Day Law gives Oklahomans the right to kill intruders inside their homes. Something 40-year-old Jeff Dorrell did yesterday afternoon in his front yard. When he noticed a suspicious truck and found the front door open he immediatly went back to his vehicle and grabbed his pistol. "He has a concealed license so he has a right to carry that pistol."

Wrong. He has a fundamental right to protect his life and property, so he has a right to carry that pistol.

But Zelbst says bottom line, this is a case of self defense. "It's not something he relishes in or enjoys or even brags about. it was a very traumatic experience for him to deal with too, to have shot somebody and they end up loosing their life."

I think they meant "losing" but hey, what's a typo or two?

While in Lawton a family member of the 17-year-old approached us. He says Freddy didn't come from a broken home and says he was trying to change but was too involved with the wrong crowd. He also says the family doesn't hold a grudge against the homeowner---but wish the situation would have ended differently.

This is somewhat refreshing. No excuses, no laying of blame other than where it belongs. My condolences to one and all involved.

Blessings,

I thought the exact same thing when I read the article. I just hope they actually meant what they said.

They say great minds think alike.


What the hell that has to do with me, I have not the first clue.
