Not sure if there are any lawyers on here but maybe someone could point me in the right direction. I'm asking because my garage has been broken into twice in the last month, the last time was just minutes after I went in. Its getting kind of nerv racking being out there at night not knowing if someone is coming in or not...

talked to a teacher who has over 35 years in law enforcement in Ohio and he said anywhere you are if someone tries to do bodily harm towards you or a family member it is self defense, and so on, but he wouldnt recommend shooting them just maybe a warning shot somewhere other than their body.
