OH HB408

Removes Ohio's "stand your ground" protection from public places, limiting the no-duty-to-retreat provision to only a person's residence, their own vehicle, or a vehicle owned by an immediate family member

Eliminates the current provision allowing persons to stand their ground "in any place in which the person lawfully has a right to be"

Deletes the requirement that courts and juries not consider retreat as a factor when evaluating self-defense claims in tort actions and criminal cases

Amends Ohio Revised Code sections 2307.601, 2901.05, and 2901.09 governing civil liability and criminal self-defense standards

Maintains the presumption of self-defense when using deadly force against someone unlawfully entering an occupied residence or vehicle
