Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine Signs ‘Stand Your Ground’ into Law

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed “Stand Your Ground” legislation into law on Monday.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that the bill DeWine signed, Senate Bill 175, is designed to remove Ohioans “duty to retreat” before using lethal force in a situation where they fear their lives are endangered.

Cleveland.com noted DeWine’s signature makes Ohio the 36th state with no duty to retreat.

Upon signing the law he released a statement, saying, “I have always believed that it is vital that law-abiding citizens have the right to legally protect themselves when confronted with a life-threatening situation.”
