OHIO Starting Tuesday, legal gun owners will no longer have to retreat from a situation before hurting or killing someone in self-defense.
Senate Bill 175, commonly known as the stand your ground bill, was signed by Gov. Mike DeWine on Jan. 4 after hinting he would veto it earlier on in 2020.
The bill has gained praise and criticism from both lawmakers and the public. While supporters say the bill will give protections to those caught in dangerous situations, opponents say it could increase gun deaths and create problems for people of color.

Ohio’s new stand your ground gun law, which expands circumstances where individuals are able to legally use deadly force in self-defense, goes into effect Tuesday.
In January, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, signed a so-called stand your ground bill that eliminates an individual s duty to retreat before using force. The final version of the legislation Senate Bill 175 passed in December, Fox 8 reported.
The new legislation expands the locations at which a person has no duty to retreat before using force under both civil and criminal law, eliminating the home and vehicular parameters. It could potentially allow an individual to use deadly force in public areas so long as the person is not the aggressor and reasonably and honestly believes it was necessary to prevent serious bodily harm or death.
Taken together, these interventions in rental housing do little or nothing to address the problems poor people face during the Covid-19 crisis and at any other time: they need cash to help with rent.
Gov. Mike DeWine has two expectations of his 2022 re-election campaign.
The Republican patriarch of Ohio politics whose term has been dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic expects to face a primary opponent and expects to win.
Former congressman and 2018 losing U.S. Senate candidate Jim Renacci has been making the most noise about running against DeWine in the GOP primary, castigating DeWine over his handling the pandemic and staging town halls. I would expect to have a primary because my experience in politics is that I generally do have a primary opponent, DeWine told The Dispatch in a recent interview. I don t know who that will be.
