Gov. Mike DeWine signs Senate Bill 175, saying he’s trying to clear up self-defense laws. We believe that a Stand Your Ground measure makes Ohio as a whole less safe. Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan says such laws encourage vigilantes, and in a majority of Florida cases since a similar law passed, the assailant could have retreated or the person killed was unarmed. We wish the governor had stood his ground on a package of gun reform laws rolled out after 2019’s mass shooting in Dayton. |
