Ohio: Self-Defense Legislation Heads to Gov. Kasich’s Desk After House Concurrence

By NRAHQ

Opinion

Fairfax, VA –

Among the many changes included in Sub. House Bill 228 are:

• Placing the burden of disproving a self-defense claim on the prosecution, similar to how it is in every other state in the country
• Critical expansion of preemption to ensure that localities do not create a patch work of gun laws throughout Ohio
• Language updates to mirror federal law that affects certain types of firearms, such as the Mossberg Shockwave
• Clarifies Ohio’s signage law in regards to concealed carry. These important changes simplify what has become a complicated portion of Ohio law

Again, please contact Gov. Kasich and strongly urge him to sign Substitute House Bill 228 into law.
