Senate Bill 175 strengthens Ohio’s self-defense laws by stating that individuals have no duty to retreat from a place that they are lawfully present before using force in defense of themselves or others.

Again, please contact Governor Mike DeWine and ask that he SIGN No Duty to Retreat legislation, Senate Bill 175.
