18-1-704.5. Use of deadly physical force against an intruder.

"Notwithstanding the provisions of section 18-1-704, any occupant of a dwelling is justified in using any degree of physical force, including deadly physical force, against another person when that other person has made an unlawful entry into the dwelling, and when the occupant has a reasonable belief that such other person has committed a crime in the dwelling in addition to the uninvited entry, or is committing or intends to commit a crime against a person or property in addition to the uninvited entry, and when the occupant reasonably believes that such other person might use any physical force, no matter how slight, against any occupant. "

That's what I was looking for (got distracted by work while I was searching for that).

Have you read any of Colorado's CRS regarding use of deadly force??

In house with knife and you ask about legal action, seriously.

I'm not gonna be hard on the kid ... there was a time when all of us were newbies.
