When is it legally permissible to use deadly force in self-defense in Ohio?

  1. Only inside your home

  2. When you fear death or serious bodily injury

  3. At any place you have a right to be

  4. Only when unable to retreat

The correct answer is: When you fear death or serious bodily injury

In Ohio, the law states that a person may use deadly force in self-defense when they have a reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury. This can occur anywhere, not just inside the home. Option A is incorrect because the use of deadly force is not limited to just inside the home in Ohio. Option C is incorrect because even though a person may use self-defense anywhere they have a legal right to be, they must also have a reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury. Option D is incorrect because it is not the only circumstance in which deadly force can be used in self-defense in Ohio.
