Right now in Colorado if you injure or kill some POS outside your home, even in self-defense, you have a very good chance of being sued for bodily injury or wrongful death. Some scheister lawyer will get a hold of the family/girlfriend/wife of the POS and sue you. This just happened last year up in Weld County when that Sureno 13 piece of garbage killed that deputy and then in turn was killed after a long car chase. Further as we all know, if the POS hurts or kills you, they have nothing to take, even if they are caught.

Castle Doctrine only protects you in your home when the perp has entered illegally, and where you believe they are, have, or are about to commit a crime and you reasonably believe the perp might use any physical force, no matter how slight against an occupant.

What we need in this state is an expanded Castle Doctrine Law like they have in Florida that protects you anyplace you have a legal right to be (in your car, on the street, etc.) It is a ridiculous proposition that a law abiding citizen when faced with grievous bodily harm or threat of death has to make the choice between their life and their security and home in choosing to defend themselves.

In reality, this is what Castle Doctrine really save you from, civil lawsuits. Most decent DA's are not going to prosecute you for defending yourself (or someone else) in your own home or even on the street, if it's a clear cut case of self-defense. It's probably a good idea to have this sort of insurance if you carry.
