Ohio -- A rare compromise today at the Ohio State House - The Senate voted 19 to ten to pass a version of the "stand your ground" bill.

All of the Senate democrats voted against it - but it wasn't a total loss for them. They managed to win a battle within that bill.

With a looming deadline, the ohio state senate engaged in a fiery debate over a controversial gun bill thursday. The bill has been called many names - stand your ground, or the duty to retreat bill.  The legislation deals with the use of lethal force in cases of self-defense.

Thursday’s bill is a picked-apart version of what passed in the house - with one major difference.

The post-committee version keeps the duty to retreat.  That means if you are in a dangerous situation, you have a legal obligation to deescalate.

The other main objective of the bill remains in tact And that is the shift in burden of proof.

Instead of showing that you acted in self defense -Now prosecution will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you did not act in self defense.”

Changing the shift of burden is a huge win for the bill's sponsors.

But keeping the duty to retreat changes the bill so drastically - It is unclear what will happen once it's fast-tracked to governor kasich's desk.

He has said in the past he will veto the bill - But this new version isn't as loaded - which could change his mind.

Either way, he has 10 days to decide.
