Under Ohio law, when is it permitted to use deadly force in self-defense?

Only within your own home
Any time you feel threatened
When retreating is not possible and you fear for your life or serious bodily harm
To protect personal property

The correct answer is: When retreating is not possible and you fear for your life or serious bodily harm

It is important to remember that the use of deadly force is a serious matter and should only be used as a last resort. Option A is incorrect because Ohio law does not limit the use of deadly force to only within your own home. Option B is incorrect because using deadly force should not be based on subjective feelings, but rather on clear and present danger to one's life. Option D is incorrect because deadly force should not be used to protect personal property. It is only allowed in situations where there is no means of retreat and the person reasonably fears for their life or serious bodily harm. In other words, it is only justified when there is no other option for self-defense.
