Castle Doctrine

A young Colorado mother takes matters into her own hands to protect herself and her 3 month old baby.  After calling 911 to alert them to 2 men attempting to break into her home, she does what any person with common sense does.  She shot and killed the first guy entering her home with a shotgun.  The other intruder fled (no surprise) and was caught later.

In New York you cannot use deadly force if you know with certainty that you can avoid an intruder by retreating.  You can use deadly force if you are not the initial aggressor in an altercation within your home. (Imagine having to process that concept while facing a threat to your safety)  Today she would be under investigation and subject to both criminal and civil charges for protecting herself and her infant.  Some cities want to prevent you from owning a firearm, even in your own home.  So my question to those who support this type of nonsense; Do you really believe the police can protect you if facing the same situation in your own home?  Only those on the far left would be foolish enough to believe it!
