Under Ohio law, using a firearm in self-defense is justified only when:

  1. The shooter feels threatened

  2. There is an actual threat of serious bodily harm or death

  3. The intruder is unlawfully entering a home

  4. Any of the above

The correct answer is: There is an actual threat of serious bodily harm or death

In Ohio, using a firearm in self-defense is justified only when there is an actual threat of serious bodily harm or death. This means that simply feeling threatened is not enough to justify using a firearm for self-defense in Ohio. Option A may seem like a logical choice, but it is not specific enough to meet the legal requirements. Option C may also seem like a viable choice, but it is not always the case that an intruder is unlawfully entering a home in a self-defense situation. Therefore, option D, which includes all of the above options, is not entirely correct. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it is the most accurate and specific in accordance with Ohio law.
