Huh. I just noticed something. As part and parcel of the various discussions of the Montana Brief to the Supreme Court*, I quoted a passage from the Colorado Constitution as follow:
Yet it is it is illegal, I am told, to use deadly force to protect property, at least here in Colorado.
So pardon my confusion. Can anyone enlighten me as to why it is illegal to use deadly force in protection of one's property --which laws would seem to contradict the Colorado Constitution.
The answer must be obvious... but not to me.

Article 2, Section 13. Right to bear arms. The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons. (boldface, underlining mine --230RN)
