Here we have another example of the Castle Doctrine in action, and how it can protect the lives of innocent homeowners.

In Oklahoma, a young mother shot down an intruder after asking an 9-1-1 operator if it was OK for her to shoot him. 2 men had attempted to break into the house where she and her 3-month-old son were living. After the dispatcher told her to "do what you have to do" to protect herself and her baby, she killed one of the intruders with a 12 gauge shotgun. The other intruder fled the scene, and is now being held on murder charges for the death of his partner.

Because she acted in self-defense, the young mother will not face any charges. On top of all of that, this mother was recently widowed; her husband had died of cancer on Christmas Day. It just goes to show you, nothing in this world is more dangerous than a mother trying to protect her child.
