🚨 Ohioans face rising threats of political violence and criminal attacks yet our laws still leave innocent people vulnerable.
The Ohio Self Defense Act makes long-overdue changes to our laws so that law-abiding citizens will never be victimized by politicized prosecutions for engaging in lawful self-defense.
This legislation:
-
Codifies the right to threaten force ensuring clarity in cases where showing a firearm or warning off an attacker is enough to prevent violence.
-
Provides immunity from wrongful prosecutions and civil lawsuits, protecting victims from being punished twice.
-
Recognizes the realities of modern violence by ensuring citizens can stand firm where they have a right to be.
From the McCloskeys in St. Louis to Kyle Rittenhouse in Wisconsin, Americans have seen how vague laws and political prosecutions put law-abiding people on trial for saving their own lives. Ohio cannot allow this to continue.
Your State Representative must co-sponsor and fight to pass the Ohio Self Defense Act, but they won’t unless they hear from you.
