Default Castle Doctrine Passes Ohio Senate



HB184 Sponsored by Fulton County's own Steve Buehrer (of Delta) has passed the Ohio Senate 31-0 and is currently on the floor of the House.

Quote:
Under current Ohio law, if you shoot an intruder dead in your home, you have to prove self-defense by showing you were in imminent danger and the only way to escape harm was through force.
While Ohio case law has established that residents sometimes use deadly force without retreating, Buehrer said: "We are one anti-gun judge and one anti-gun prosecutor away from seeing those rights disappear."
The bill also bars criminals from suing in civil court for injuries suffered in the act of committing crimes.
