"State of the art security"= Cameras... so employees when you get shot we'll have a video of it to show your family so there is no question how you died.

Sounds a little dumb to me. I'd rather all my employees pack heat instead of having to put yet another case file on the desk of some overworked, underpaid detective that could take months or even years to solve, if it gets solved. Don't try and rob this place, we'll take your picture, and if you're masked you probably will get away without a scratch because our employees aren't permitted to carry guns for their safety.

Now all BGs/druggies know what store to rob because they don't have to worry about anyone defending themselves.

Not in the state of Colorado. The law states (and I'm paraphrasing here): Everyone has the RIGHT to feel safe in their homes. Using lethal force to defend your self, your home, or family (or all of the above) you are not subject to criminal or civil suit. Meaning... the criminal's family or the state cannot prosecute you in criminal or civil court for defending yourself lawfully. You break into my house, and I suspect you of committing or intending to commit a crime and I shoot you I'm not liable and cannot be prosecuted.
It's the 3 rules of home defense- 1) They have to enter your home (break the plane actually- a lot like football touchdowns) without consent or permission. 2) They have to commit a crime, or you suspect that they intend to commit a crime. 3) Or you feel like your or your family's life(lives) are in danger.
Fire away.

Now dont get me wrong, I am not attacking you Ronin because I know this is the way its written. But its Pretty damned stupid to say "They have to commit a crime, or you suspect that they intend to commit a crime. " after the illegally enter your home... which is a crime.

Oh, I know the law, but that doesn't seem to always be the case. Far too many examples of the law NOT working in the favor of the person protecting themselves.
