"As police chiefs who care deeply about protecting our
communities, we urge you to consider the very dangerous implications of Senate Bill 383 and 317, neither of which will reduce crime or promote law and order in our communities." #OHLeg @GovMikeDeWine @MomsDemand @BillColeyOH

"Under current Ohio law, a person can use force, including deadly force, to defend oneself anywhere.
Passing SB 383 would upend centuries of traditional self-defense doctrine." @BillColeyOH @LarryObhof @MomsDemand

"It would threaten public safety by encouraging armed vigilantism and allow a person to kill another person in a public area even when he or she can clearly and safely walk away from danger." @GovMikeDeWine @LarryObhof
"Florida’s Stand Your Ground law was associated with a 32 percent increase in firearm homicide rates. In 79 percent of Florida’s cases, the person could have retreated to avoid the confrontation. Additionally, 68 percent of the people killed in these confrontations were unarmed."
"...consider the disproportionate impacts of such laws on communities of color and the potential for increased gun violence. SYG laws in other states have resulted in higher rates of justifiable homicides for White shooters and lower rates of conviction when the victim is Black."
We @MomsDemand volunteers stand with Police Chiefs across Ohio, and with @ohioceasefire @Brady_PAC @GiffordsCourage @acluohio in opposing the dangerous, racist Shoot-Who-Makes-You-Nervous aka Stand Your Ground bills.
Also standing with @CSGV and @bradybuzz to fight these bills. #SB383 #HB796 #SB317 @GovMikeDeWine @MomsDemand
