Ohio Gov Signs Self-Defense Rights Bill into Law, Scrapping ‘Duty to Retreat’

Neon Nettle: Ohio’s Republican governor has signed a new bill into law to boost citizens’ self-defense rights by scrapping their “duty to retreat.”

Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed the “Stand Your Ground” legislation into state law on Monday.

The bill DeWine signed, Senate Bill 175, is designed to remove Ohioans’ “duty to retreat” while defending themselves.

Previously, the law required people to retreat before they can justifiably hurt or kill someone in self-defense or in a situation where they fear their lives are endangered. more
