    In a Weld County case, Hammock was upset over his dog being shot with a pellet gun. He suspected Griffin. Hammock armed himself with a 3' long 2x2 and confronted Griffin at Griffin's home. They argued through the door. At some point Hammock used the piece of wood to break a window in the door and Griffin shot him in the chest with a 12 gauge round. Hammock died. Griffin was arrested for 2nd Murder but released after the investigation. The DA cited the MMD law and brought up the fact the Co Supreme Court had previously ruled a front porch was part of the dwelling.
    I thought your vehicle was an extension of your home, and that is why you can have a ccg with out a ccw. Judging by what you can see in the video it looks like he could have drove off, but we dont know the circumstances he was under. I think he should have held them at Gun point and called 911, apposed to shooting the guy like he did.

    Your vehicle IS an extension of your home, but not concerning the Make My Day law.

    So did that guy get off or is it unknown?

    Which guy? The one at the gas station? That happened in Ohio I think. He wasn't charged with anything.

    To my knowledge, there is no place in the US where you will get a murder charge for self defense. You may get some other offenses like discharging a firearm, or possession of a firearm, but defending yourself is still legal for now.

    I just dont see how he got SD dont get me wrong those guys got what they had coming trying to rob someone, but it looked like he killed the guy while he was on the ground.

    Two guys were attacking him at once, and he shot one of them in the stomach, then they stopped and he drove away. The video I showed is really crappy, they cut out so much you can't see what happens. I don't know if that guy died though. The friend that didn't get shot, posted a ton of updates on Facebook saying how he was going to kill that guy if his friend died, he never forgets a face, blah blah blah.

    New info on IHOP incident.
    A guy I know has a friend in the Carson City Sheriff Dept. According to him, there was a CCW holder INSIDE the restaurant at the time of the shooting.
    He had his weapon, he wasn't shot. He froze from indecision, according to what he told the deputies.

    I can't fathom sitting idle and watching a man walk up and start shooting people around you, knowing there's a gun on your hip.
