Legal resources for self-defense
Colorado self-defense and use-of-force law is nuanced. This is not legal advice.
Start with the current Colorado Revised Statutes on use of force and related defenses, then consult a Colorado-licensed attorney for your situation.
- Search CRS for use of physical force / deadly force
- Local criminal defense counsel and civil rights / 2A firms listed on Resources (e.g. Mountain States Legal Foundation for certain constitutional matters).
- After any defensive incident, prioritize safety and medical aid; do not rely on website summaries in place of counsel.
