Ohio Code § 2307.221

§ 2307.221.

(A) As used in this section, “tort action” has the same meaning as in section 2307.60 of the Revised Code . (B) No person is liable in a tort action for injury, death, or loss to person or property

allegedly caused by the person's act of self-defense or defense of another when performed

during the commission, or imminent commission, of an offense of violence to protect

the members or guests, including the person's self, of a nonprofit corporation against

the commission, or imminent commission, of that offense of violence, unless the person's

act constitutes willful or wanton misconduct. (C) Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect any right to bring a civil action

under section 2307.60 of the Revised Code or any other section of the Revised Code. (D) This section does not affect, and shall not be construed as affecting, any immunity

from civil liability or defense established by another section of the Revised Code

or available at common law, to which the person may be entitled under circumstances

not covered by this section. (E) Subject to division (B) of this section, there is a presumption that a person who

approaches or enters a nonprofit corporation's premises or event with intent to commit

an offense of violence is liable for any injury, death, or loss to person or property

resulting from an act of self-defense or defense of another against that person.
