>In Colorado, ya do gotta wait until they’re inside before they’re fair game. Shoot inside: OK; Shoot outside: not OK.
What if the perp is shooting at you from outside into your house at you?
It seems to me that if found guilty the defendant might appeal on the grounds that the law is unconstitutional by denying the right to self defense, just in the case you describe.
“What if the perp is shooting at you from outside into your house at you?”
If someone is shooting at you, then it’s almost always justifiable to defend yourself with deadly force, doesn’t matter whether it is in your home, outside your home, wherever. At that point, you have left the realm of “reasonable fear of imminent harm” and entered the realm of actual harm being directed at you, so the rules are different.
It may be different if you live in a “duty to retreat” state where they expect you to run away if you can, but in most states, once the bullets start flying in your direction, you don’t need to worry about justification anymore.
