Ohio’s duty to retreat is repealed effective today 4-6-2021

It's been 90 days since DeWine signed the repeal of duty to retreat!
Then on the 12th the knife law changes go into effect, so a knife will only be considered a weapon if used as a weapon.

Its a good day for Ohioans!
God love Buckeye Firearms Association!!!

CONGRATS!

Never mattered much unless the case was very specific. In all states that had it, the duty was prefaced by something like "in complete safety". Obviously, during a criminal attack on the street, that does not mean you have to run away while being attacked. Some idjits will tell you otherwise, but they are clueless.

I agree but every step on the books in the right direction these days is a win!

I agree also , its those little technicalitys in a law that get people convicted of stupid things that are in most cases irrelevant to what happened in there situation. [ those are the things trail lawyers love ! ]

Yes, agreed. Dumping extra rules is important.
