A thread in Team forum raised this question:
the thread: http://ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=75&t=443441
linkSynopsis: team member Aim4MyHead stated he interrupted a guy getting attacked by a woman with a hammer (in Florida). An phone call to (I suppose 911) did not result in a police response. I commented that in Ohio pulling your gun would get you arrested if you were not in immediate danger.
Team member walther_gsp disagreed with me, stating that you have the right to defend a third party (I think this is what he said, it depends on how you interpret his statement).
So the Question:
Does Ohio law permit you to intercede with a firearm (concealed carry, presumably) to come to the aid of a third party who is in immediate danger?
For example, if a UDF was being robbed at gunpoint as you drove up, would you face prosecution if you interceded and held the robber at gunpoint? How about if you actually had to shoot the robber?
Thanks in advance.
