Provide clear verbal warnings, state you are armed, and if entry is forced, be prepared to use necessary force. After the threat is neutralized, cease firing and contact an attorney before speaking with police.

How does Ohio law address self-defense during a home invasion?

Ohio's Castle Doctrine presumes that using deadly force is justified when an individual unlawfully and forcibly enters an occupied dwelling, simplifying the legal burden on the homeowner.

Video doorbells provide objective visual evidence of events, can facilitate communication without opening the door, and help document interactions for potential legal proceedings.
