Just found this also for Fl. Dated 2004. I briefly read this.http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/weapons/self_defense.html
Ohio should be the same.
Q. When can I use my handgun to protect myself?
A. Florida law justifies use of deadly force when you are:
Trying to protect yourself or another person from death or serious bodily harm;
Trying to prevent a forcible felony, such as rape, robbery, burglary or kidnapping.
