Make My Day Better Law

A bill in Colorado called the "Make My Day Better", would make it so that the "Make My Day" law standards spread to businesses. The "Make My Day" law allows home owners to use deadly force against intruders. Spreading it to businesses would allow for them to legally do the same.

As it stands now, business owners who defend themselves can be sued by their attackers, or the attacker's family. To protect the owners is the primary reason for the bill. Opponents say that giving owners the right to do so, makes them too powerful.

This is not the first time that such an expansion has been attempted, each time before it failed to pass, but this time it is expected to make it through the Republican house. The Democrat senate is a different matter. All expectations are for the voting on the bill to be drawn completely along part lines.
