The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that a front porch is including in the definition of a "dwelling" and people have a right to defend themselves there just like it was in the home.

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.
