CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: In Colorado, A Business Self-Defense Bill.

Lawmakers will hear testimony on a proposal to allow Colorado business owners and employees the right to use deadly force against suspected intruders.

The bill dubbed “Make My Day Better” expands legal protections to businesses. Colorado homeowners already have those protections under a law nicknamed “Make My Day.”

This isn’t the first time Republicans have tried to give legal protections to business owners and employees. Their proposals have failed in the past when Democrats controlled both chambers.

Sad that a common-sense proposal like this is even controversial.
