Before the Castle Doctrine here in Ohio, if somebody broke into your
house, and you had an option of leaving the house because you were near
a door, but opted to shoot the guy instead, they would bring you up on
charges. If found guilty, the family of the person you shot could sue
you besides. Same held true if somebody broke into your house and you
weren't home, and he tripped on a throw rug and hurt himself. The
burglar could hold you liable for his injuries.
They changed the laws here because too many innocent people were being
victimized by the bad guys and the good guys. Depending where you
lived, you were afraid to keep your door unlocked on those wonderful
summer nights. Now if somebody walks or breaks into your home armed or
not, you have every right to shoot and kill that person.
