Hi guys.
Here's the scenario:
my wife is getting her CCW.
She is legal caregiver of her old mother, who lives in her own house.
The house is only in my mother in law's name, so technically it is not my wife's own house or dwelling, as stated by the MMD law, but she spends there most of her day, everyday.
Somebody enters the house uninvited.
Can my wife protect herself and her mother from an intruder even in the absence of an evident weapon (does the MMD law protects her in this scenario)?
Or would she have to face legal consequences for firing on an unarmed intruder?
Obviously this would not apply to a situation where the intruder is armed, but we are trying to run different scenarios so to not be caught unprepared.
I know a lot of you guys would do whatever you have to, but I am looking for an actual legal opinion.
Thanks for your help.
