Ohio Governor Mike DeWine will decide whether Ohio becomes a “stand your ground” state this year. (Photo: Mike DeWine Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ohio legislature passed a bill this week that will expand protections for those who are forced to engage in armed self-defense to protect their lives or the lives of their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The provision removes the so-called \u201cduty to retreat\u201d from the state\u2019s criminal codes and instead allows individuals to defend themselves with deadly force in self-defense, defense of another, or defense of that person’s residence. The legislation expressly prohibits juries from considering whether the person could have retreated before using deadly force in self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proponents of the bill argued that the state\u2019s \u201ccastle doctrine\u201d should be expanded to include anywhere a person is legally allowed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy right to defend myself from serious bodily harm or death does not change just because I am outside the walls of my home… inside or outside my car,\u201d said Rep. Kyle Koehler, who introduced the proposal. \u201cMy right to defend myself from serious bodily harm or death should be extended to anywhere I am lawfully allowed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyle Koehler (@repkoehler) December 5, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

Koehler argued that Ohio\u2019s criminal codes shouldn\u2019t place the responsibility to retreat on a gun owner when faced with a person who has no regard for the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf someone is bent on killing another individual, the laws we write on paper do not matter,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opponents of the bill argue that it will encourage gun owners to shoot innocent people. Actress Elizabeth Banks took to Twitter to criticize the policy with a story from her childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStand Your Ground is BS. We used to play hide and seek all over the neighborhood on summer nights. Intent was to play. We were kids but some of my cousins were big guys. There were a few easily-jumped fences in the neighborhood but also houses with no fences at all. A new neighbor moved onto our street. Apparently he mistook us hiding behind trees in his unfenced yard at 9pm for\u2026 burglars? Predators?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banks claimed that one neighbor shot an arrow at the trespassing children. He didn\u2019t hit them, but she believes her experience proves the dangers of the policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll I can think about when people pretend Stand Your Ground is about anything other than permission to kill people are those moments when I myself stepped onto a neighbor\u2019s property. Where is the evidence that Stand Your Ground does anything but endanger your neighbors, their dogs, their kids? It helps nobody but people who want justified reasons to use a deadly weapon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation now heads to the desk of Republican Gov. Mike DeWine. After the 2019 massacre in Dayton that left nine people dead, DeWine pushed for a number of gun control policies<\/a>, including bolstering the background check system, toughening laws against people who possess guns illegally, and instituting confiscatory \u201cred flag\u201d laws<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of DeWine\u2019s reforms survived this legislative session, and while he hasn\u2019t said whether he\u2019d veto the new \u201cstand your ground\u201d provision, he has said publicly that the legislature should not move to expand gun rights this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 25 states do not require retreat before shooting in self-defense, according to a May research brief<\/a> from the National Conference of State Legislatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
