Fortunately, here in Colorado, we have a "Make my Day" law. You are covered from prosecution if you exercise proportional self defense either in your home or on your property. That's right, your front yard is covered also! The way it should be.

If this scenario were to unfold in my house, I'm not sure who would have fired the final shot, me or my wife. Don't like it? Don't break into my house.

Either way, anyone that comes into my house intent on harming me or my family will be carried out. I know every shadow and creaky board in my house, and don't need a light.
