What is the name of your state? OH

I've been trying to find information online about what the laws are if somebody breaks into your house. Are there any laws in place that prohibit using a gun in self defence if somebody is in your house robbing you with a gun? What about if they are in your house without a gun?

The use of deadly force to protect yourself or a third party is allowed if it is a reasonable force considering the threat.
