Gun rights advocates have pressed lawmakers for years on changing the law regarding the right to protect property with deadly force if necessary. Their efforts have paid off, and the self defense law in Ohio has now changed.
The Dayton Daily News reported that the law change went into effect on September 9 and will now give people who defend their homes the benefit of the doubt.
Ohio adopted a version of the Castle Doctrine, which states that a person who uses deadly force against an intruder of their car or home is automatically presumed to have acted in self defense. The adoption of the Castle Doctrine was adopted as part of several concealed carry law updates in Ohio.
