Scenario: 3 Guys Assaulting CC Students

[rockhound]

man that is a tough one, after the beatings downtown and along broadway already this year i could see an argument for fearing bodily harm, especially 3 on one.

I'm not sure I'd be carrying on campus anyway, I'm unsure of the legality of CCW on state campuses?

[Gunner]

I can tell you on AURARIA you cant carry. And lots of people have been mugged there recently

[Irving]

You only can't carry according to the school. No law against it.

"HEY ALL OF THE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS HERE ARE DISARMED!"

I'll have to look again but that last I heard the only college that allowed CCW was CSU.

Back to the original question, I would jump around acting like a monkey and freak them out. Sure you feel like an ass but your atleast going to give some seperation from them if even just enough to pull. I also like the pointing Idea, reminds me of working concerts and getting a crowd to loose the crowd mantality.

I thought there was a ruling not too long ago mandating that community colleges couldn't ban CC. Probably in one of the threads about CU's anti-gun moves.

I was actually hoping to hear some discussion of the Colorado law here by you who have given some thought to it in situations like this:

(1) Except as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, a person is justified in using physical force upon another person in order to defend himself or a third person from what he reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by that other person, and he may use a degree of force which he reasonably believes to be necessary for that purpose.

(2) Deadly physical force may be used only if a person reasonably believes a lesser degree of force is inadequate and:

(a) The actor has reasonable ground to believe, and does believe, that he or another person is in imminent danger of being killed or of receiving great bodily injury....

What circumstances in this very real scenario taking place repeatedly on the campus would lend itself to or take away from meeting this law? When in the act of these three guys asking for a cigarette would the law's contingencies be met in your thinking?
