Which of the following is a true statement regarding the use of deadly force for self-defense in Ohio?

  1. It's always justified to prevent property theft

  2. Only when there is an immediate threat to life

  3. It's permitted in all public places

  4. Only allowed in your own home

The correct answer is: Only when there is an immediate threat to life

In the state of Ohio, the use of deadly force for self-defense is only justified when there is an immediate threat to life. This means that if someone's life is in immediate danger, they may use deadly force to protect themselves. This is the only situation where it is legally acceptable to use deadly force in self-defense. Option A is incorrect because using deadly force to protect property is never justified in Ohio. Option C is incorrect because deadly force is not permitted in all public places, as there are certain locations where carrying or displaying a weapon may be prohibited. Option D is also incorrect because the use of deadly force for self-defense is not limited to one's own home. If someone is in immediate danger in a public place, they may use deadly force to protect themselves, but again, this is the only situation where it is legally allowed in Ohio.
