What is the 'race to the phone' principle in self-defense?

The 'race to the phone' principle suggests that in a confrontation, the person who calls the police first is often viewed as the victim. It's crucial to report any incident to law enforcement immediately to document your account of events and avoid being perceived as the aggressor.

What are the firearm laws regarding loaded weapons in vehicles in Ohio?

In Ohio, it is against the law to have a loaded firearm in a vehicle unless you possess a valid concealed carry permit. This law applies regardless of whether the firearm is being brandished or is simply stored in the vehicle.

Why is proper firearms training important for legal self-defense?
