Associated Press Mourners gather for a vigil at the scene of a mass shooting, Sunday, Aug. 4, 2019, in Dayton, Ohio.
Ohio s new Stand Your Ground law goes into effect Tuesday. The measure approved in December removes the duty to retreat before using deadly force in self-defense.
Gun control advocates say it will make Ohio a more dangerous place to live.

She points to Florida, where she says gun homicides increased by 32% after their Stand Your Ground went into effect in 2005.
