The premise that self-defense laws are for those who hold a CHL or use a firearm to protect themselves is all hype, smoke and mirrors for the Anti-gun establishment.

Ask someone to define the term "Castle Doctrine," and you will get a variety of answers, in part because, like "Stand Your Ground," it is a marketing term used to describe a variety of self-defense laws in various states around the country.

It is likely, however, that the varied definitions will likely contain a common theme - one involving the use of a firearm to defend oneself. While the laws typically say nothing about the particular tools that one may use in a self-defense incident, the misunderstanding likely comes from the fact that pro-gun rights groups are, if not the only, certainly the most vocal proponents of such laws when they are being debated.

The fact is, when it was passed in 2008 and signed into law by then-Governor Ted Strickland (D), Ohio's Castle Doctrine Law (SB 184) made significant practical improvements for ALL Ohioans - not just gun owners.

We hear all the time firearms being associated with any and all forms of defense as if it is the only way a citizen is going to defend themselves from harm. Little is done by any form of media to project a different point of view. In actuality the media is promoting that association in defense of that very view point pressed upon the public by Anti-gun advocates.
