State lawmakers may approve a “stand your ground” bill this week, which would eliminate gun owners’ duty to retreat from danger in public places before using deadly force in self-defense. Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl and others urged Gov. Mike DeWine to veto the measure if it reaches his desk. Biehl said the measure would make police work more difficult and communities less safe by “encouraging armed vigilantism.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
