COLUMBUS: Law enforcement is not lining up behind Gov. Ted Strickland in his support of a bill that would allow a new protection against prosecution for people who kill an attacker in self defense.
Under the bill Strickland favors, people who injure or kill an attacker in self defense no longer would shoulder the burden to prove their actions were justifiable.
The Democratic governor has long been supported by the National Rifle Association for his views on gun rights.
Director John Murphy of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association says the bill could allow drug dealers to claim self defense in shootings of rivals in deals that went sour.
The bill is set for a House committee vote today. It already has cleared the Senate.
