Justified shooting

In my home state (Oklahoma) a law was passed aptly named the "make my day law". If someone breaks into your home while you are there you are legally justified to use deadly force on them. I was working as a homicide detective at the time. We rarely arrested someone under the circumstances described even prior to the make my day law. Manslaughter? I dont think so. Of course things vary from state to state and as expressed here opinions vary.
