Where in the United States are the firearm laws relaxed?

Which state or town is it easy to own a firearm, or purchase self defense products?
By saying easy, I mean no I.D required, just pay and you are gone.

Alaska and Vermont are the best
They impose no more restrictions than the federal government mandates and require no permit to own or carry openly or concealed

Florida is pretty good but they do impose waiting periods on handguns that can be either three days or five days depending on the county
Open carry is generally illegal
Private sales of handguns or long guns to anyone over 18 requires only a check that the person is a Fla citizen for handguns
Some counties have closed the so called gunshow loophole by requiring a background check for any gun sold in a public venue by anyone

I have never asked for an ID from anyone except of I was at a gunshow then I just wanted to see your over 18 picture on an Fla license

There are no weapons bans in place and for the most part Fl also does not impose any more restrictions than the feds mandate

What are the self defense laws in Ohio for guns?

If someone breaks into my house or invades it or otherwise enters without my permission what are the laws regarding the use of a firearm to defend my home and myself?

The Castle Doctrine went into effect Spetember 9, 2008 in Ohio passed by SB184

SB184 establishes that all of these are presumed to be satisfied if someone unlawfully enters, or is attempting to enter your occupied home or car.

Sec 2925.05 (B)(1) Subject to division (B)(2) of this section, a person is presumed to have acted in self defense or defense of another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if the person against whom the defensive force is used is in the process of unlawfully and without privilege to do so entering, or has unlawfully and without privilege to do so entered, the residence or vehicle occupied by the person using the defensive force.

This presumption does not apply when force is used against someone who is lawfully in your home (spouse or an invited guest).

Sec 2925.05 (B) (2)(a) The presumption set forth in division (B)(1) of this section does not apply if the person against whom the defensive force is used has a right
to be in, or is a lawful resident of, the residence or vehicle.

This presumption does not apply to a criminal who is there illegally. (This is not a “get out of jail free” card for criminals.)

Sec 2925.05 (B) (2)( (b) The presumption set forth in division (B)(1) of this section does not apply if the person who uses the defensive force uses it while in a residence or vehicle and the person is unlawfully, and without privilege to be, in that residence or vehicle.

This presumption may be challenged and overcome if the prosecution can prove with a preponderance of the evidence that it should not apply. (It does not prevent the arrest and prosecutions where overwhelming evidence indicates that it was not a self-defense situation.)

Sec 2925.05 (B) (3) The presumption set forth in division (B)(1) of this section is a rebuttable presumption and may be rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence.

In your home or vehicle (or the vehicle of an immediate family member) you may stand your ground and exercise your right to self-defense. You have no duty to retreat.

Sec. 2901.09. (B) For purposes of any section of the Revised Code that sets forth a criminal offense, a person who lawfully is in that person's residence has no duty to retreat before using force in self-defense, defense of another, or defense of that person's residence, and a person who lawfully is an occupant of that person's vehicle or who lawfully is an occupant in a vehicle owned by an immediate family member of the person has no duty to retreat before using force in self-defense or defense of another.

Note that the above section does not remove a duty to retreat in a friend’s vehicle.

It is important to understand that all of the above apply in your occupied home, temporary residence or vehicle, not in any other place.

The following however is applicable everywhere in Ohio.

A person is barred from recovering money (suing) if their injury arises from their criminal behavior, including injuries sustained by acts of the intended victim. If you injure an innocent bystander (hit by a stray bullet) you may be ordered to pay damages to that person.

Sec 2307.60 (B) (2) Recovery on a claim for relief in a tort action is barred to any person or the person's legal representative if the any of the following apply:

Sec 2307.60 (B) (2) (c) The person suffered the injury or loss for which relief is claimed in the tort action as a proximate result of the victim of conduct that, if prosecuted, would constitute a felony, a misdemeanor that is an offense of violence, an attempt to commit a felony, or an attempt to commit a misdemeanor that is an offense of violence acting against the person in self-defense, defense of another, or defense of the victim's residence, regardless of whether the person has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to or has been charged with committing the felony, the misdemeanor, or the attempt to commit the felony or misdemeanor. Division (B)(2)(c) of this section does not apply if the person who suffered the injury or loss, at the time of the victim's act of self-defense, defense of another, or defense of residence, was an innocent bystander who had no connection with the underlying conduct that prompted the victim's exercise of self-defense, defense of another, or defense of residence.

Not every situation covered in the law is outlined in this piece, and readers are strongly encouraged to read all applicable sections and seek professional legal advice to gain a better understanding of the law and how it will be applied in different situations.
