Thanks for the clarification, I guess I was wrong. I’m in Ohio, and we have “castle doctrine” which I thought was the same thing. Looks like we need SYG...
I am not a lawyer (Disclaimer). But you might be surprised to find out what all is in your Castle Doctrine. There are many states that have adopted forms of this law as well. This gives citizens to defend their property with lethal force. You no longer have to call the police and quietly watch criminals steel your truck in the driveway. Castle doctrine allows you to confront the perps in defense of your property. If a lethal situation occurs as a result of the encounter and you are forced to defend yourself with lethal force, Castle Doctrine provides justification for your defense (as I understand the law).
It obviously also provides for your defense of your castle (home). But specifically allows you to defend your property.
Ohio has the most prosecution friendly legal standard against self defense, too. In every other state, the prosecution must prove (at trial), beyond a reasonable doubt, that the action was not self defense. In Ohio, the prosecution only has to show it was less likely self defense - preponderance of the evidence, running in the prosecution's favor.
