Answering my own question -
I suppose "Menacing" CRS - 18-3-206 would apply to the "touch your gun" as well as something similar but verbal. A class 5 felony. -
(b)"By the person representing verbally or otherwise that he or she is armed with a deadly weapon."
All of which would, of course, clearly be an affirmative defense when confronted by an intruder with a taser. I haven't found specific case law declaring a taser a deadly weapon in CO, but there is CO case law declaring a BB gun a deadly weapon.
In any case, Smoke, get a job that treats you as an intelligent adult.
