DeWine said he’ll address the issue this week
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine didn’t say which way he was leaning on a "Stand Your Ground" bill that the state's Republican-led Senate approved Friday -- and that now heads to DeWine's desk.
But he hinted at some displeasure with the proposal during a Saturday news conference.
"We should not be taking up bills like that when we have bills that have been in front of the legislature for a year, where we have the opportunity to directly save lives," DeWine said, according to WTOL-TV in Toledo.
Earlier last week, he said the legislature should first pass "some protections" related to gun violence.
Since the Dayton shooting in 2019 that killed nine people, he has been pushing for more strenuous background checks for gun buyers.
They want "some protections" realted to gun violence.
That is what Stand Your Ground is - it protects good people from dangerous criminals.
