Murdered: A plea for decency and responsibility

In the third incident involving one of my wife's co-workers within the past 2 months (the incidents are otherwise unrelated), I have just found out that one of her closest co-worker's brother-in-law was shot to death last night while attempting to break up a fight in the restaurant in which he was employed [9 news story here].  This follows another shooting death in an incident involving the son of yet another co-worker, who was murdered before Christmas when his apartment was broken into in Denver.  I cannot properly express my condolences to these families who have lost members recently in senseless acts of violence.  The disregard for Human life seems to be growing by the day.

I express my deepest and most profound sorrow to the families affected.

Beginning today, those of us capable must take on a personal responsibility for providing for not only our own safety, but the safety of others against this kind of violence.  The Police force is obviously not enough.  In an effort to lead the charge, I implore whomever reads this to look into your state's concealed carry laws.  In Colorado, CCW permits are shall-issue (after passing a background check and submitting fingerprints to your local Sheriff's department).  In Colorado, you are also permitted by law to use deadly force against anyone who unlawfully enters your home, so long as you believe that there is an immediate threat to your person or your property.  You are also authorized to use deadly force in defense of another person if that person is in imminent danger of death or "great bodily injury".  These are covered in the Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) 18-1-704 [1].

Learn the law, learn to handle a weapon safely, and begin exercising your right to your own defense.  Unfortunately, we have reached the point where when seconds count, the Police are only minutes away.  We must take care of our own safety and the safety of those around us.  There is simply no other option.

In love of liberty,
The Bulletproof Patriot
