I'm going to look where that nickname came from, because that has to be one of the dumbest monikers I've ever seen for a castle doctrine law.
ETA: Looks like they were just being trendy:
Colorado’s “Make My Day” Law
Colorado adopted its “Make My Day” law in 1985. At that time, the phrase “make my day” had been popularized by the 1983 Clint Eastwood film Sudden Impact and then revived by President Reagan in his 1985 threat to veto any tax increase legislation sent to him by the U.S. Congress. In its 28-year history, Colorado’s “Make My Day” law has never been amended. The law is codified at section 18-1-704.5, C.R.S.
Nothing personal Colorado, but maybe it's time for a makeover to your statute.
