Go ahead, make my day...

I've recently been studying (English) law over here in Britain, and somehow it cropped up that there is a law in (i think) Oklahoma (if that is how you spell it) called the "you make my day" law (after Clint Eastwood), which says that you are entitled to shoot dead anyone trespassing on your property.

I haven't bothered to research it because I don't live in Oklahoweveritsspelled, nor intend to.

Firstly, is this true?

Secondly, if it is, then just what does it entail, and how on earth do you control it? I can think of any number of scenarios which could go wrong if this is the case.
