The two men, illegal immigrants, went for months without being charged with a crime for the theft.An 82-year-old Wheat Ridge homeowner, Robert Wallace, was charged with attempted murder soon after police said he shot at two men stealing a trailer from his property in February.
One of the suspects, 28-year-old Alvaro Cardona-De Lorea, was shot through the eye, leaving him with brain damage and a disfigured skull.
Colorado has a "Make My Day" law that allows a citizen to shoot only in the case of a home intrusion. My question *looking at Ken* is this: If the thief was shot in the eye, then that means that the escape vehicle was possibly facing the victim, Mr. Wallace, and could presumably have been being used as a weapon against him. Doesn't our second ammendment provide us with the right to protect ourselves from such bodily harm?
