State Sen. Steve Buehrer has introduced legislation in the state senate to allow people to take the necessary steps in a potentially life-threatening situation to defend their home or business.

This change would eliminate that part of the law where charges are brought against the citizen for defending his property or himself in a deadly threatening situation. It has been passed in 19 states and crime has dropped.

Of course, The current law gave us the right to bear arms in Ohio, legally. In every law written, it is not perfect and does not make everyone happy.

But if a citizen defends his property (home or business) against intruders, he should not be charged and be required to justify his action. He has a right to bear arms and defend himself.

I support State Sen. Steve Buehrer proposal and endorse the backing by the NRA of this proposal.
