House Bill 1094, introduced by Rep. Cory Gardner, R Yuma, and a candidate for the GOP nomination for the 4th Congressional District, said the measure would help protect business owners and their employees from unscrupulous people who enter their shops. "This is a self defense bill that's empowering the people of Colorado to make sure that they have the right to self defense without worry that they would be prosecuted by their government," Gardner said. "We have seen instances in Colorado where employees of businesses have been charged with the crime for acting to protect themselves."
