CO: Make my day better: "Rep. Cory Gardner is taking another shot at passage of his 'Make My Day Better' legislation. Under Colorado's current Make My Day Law, people can use deadly force to protect themselves in their own homes. ... Rep. Gardner, a Republican whose district covers part of Southeastern Colorado, wants to extend the right of self-protection to people in the workplace. As it is, there are disparities in how such incidents are handled by prosecutors. In Denver, a man was charged with manslaughter for protecting himself from a burglar, but in Colorado Springs in the same type of crime, the store owner who protected himself wasn't charged with anything. ... If you are killed by a criminal at work, you are just as dead, dead, dead as if you are killed at home. Why not allow people to protect themselves at work just as they can protect themselves in their own abodes?"
