I know it's from CNN but still good info.

A quick glance shows some errors in the Ohio description.

It was from CNN. They got Texas right - - - anybody that uses a news story from anywhere as an education on the law ain't real bright. Now are they? Of course it's better than being completely ignorant of the law.

I would not go to any State without researching the CHL laws of that state and printing and carrying a copy of the statute.

I understand the point of the article, but I think its kind of telling that the article left out all the states such as New York and California, where you DO have to retreat. They didn't want anyone to be able to compare the laws and see how unreasonable the "duty to retreat" states are...even though YOU'VE done nothing wrong, you HAVE TO run away BY THE LAWS. Seems to me those states care more about criminals than the law-abiding.
