A drunk Coed wonders into your house and you shoot her?
That would have been a perfect opportunity to Plea to your wife about a threesome!
People in Denver are too uptight.
It was in Boulder, not Denver!

This. I live in Boulder County and read about this when it happened. It has been said by a number of people that it was rather strange of these people to have a loaded gun by the bed but not lock your door.

Maybe they should have locked their door. See above.

If she was in the midst of a psychotic breakdown or hallucinating or whatever then anything is possible.
She was drunk. She also has a prior arrest record for shoplifting, for which she got a deferred sentence after going to some classes.

Everything is strange in Boulder. Is it true that there are only two kinds of people in boulder...health nuts and stoners?

Well, there's some crossover between those two groups. A friend of mine used to complain about "vegetarians who do drugs". There are a few "normal" people there.
Freshman year I lived in a dorm where every floor was almost identical. My friend my floor got very drunk one night went to what he thought was his room on the floor above. Stripped to his boxers and started to go to bed when the girl sleeping in the bed started to scream. He left as soon as he could. Glad he neither got shot nor got criminal charges.
[Though one difference is he left as soon as the occupant reacted]
They ended up living on the same floor next year, and her friends pointed him out to her in case she didn't notice.

Is it that normal to lock your door when you're inside outside of areas where crime might be an issue? I've thought it was unnecessary and slightly paranoid and thought it was comment-worthy if people did that. Then again, in some places I've lived I didn't used to lock my door when I wasn't home.

This was in a fairly affluent neighborhood of Boulder, where I can assure you all the houses do not look alike. Yes, it is normal to lock your doors at night in Boulder. I've never lived anywhere that people didn't lock their doors at night, not even in rural Illinois.

I was mixing up locking your door when you are inside and awake instead of inside and sleeping. I dunno what's the norm in some places I've been for what people normally do before they go to sleep rather than awake.
Though if you leave your windows open at night, that can be almost the same as leaving your door unlocked.

Well, not exactly. The window screens would have to be cut or the glass broken to enter a house through a window. There have been some rapes in Boulder where the rapist accessed the home (usually an apt) through an open sliding pation door on an upper floor. The Boulder police recommend closing and locking these doors.
Also, I think young people tend to lock things less because they tend not be as worried about security and are less cautious in general.
That's possible, but the homeowners were two married psychiatrists, not kids.
