    Ugh. Okay. Exactly what statute would have been violated in this?

    And, as a side note: There is no actual criminal violation called 'Domestic Violence'; it is a definition and a sentence enhancer based upon the definition and a violation of some relevant state statute. Example: C.R.S. 18-3-204 is Assault in the 3rd Degree, a class 1 Misdemeanor. Can be charged if two people get into an altercation. If that altercation is between parties as defined in C.R.S. 18-6-800.3, then after 18-3-204 is placed on the Probable Cause statement and booking sheet, 18-6-800.3 is added with the statement, "An Act of Domestic Violence".

    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
