I have a question, it may sound odd. The MA laws on self defense are so screwed up I wish there was a class on it or something.....the rules, in's, out's and whats allowed and what isnt.
Say for example someone broke into my house and was raping my fiance but did NOT have a weapon; would I be in trouble if I used a firearm to disable them (and whether they are facing me or not)?
It's weird because they say bodily harm but suppose the intent of the person was not to kill but just to rape and they didnt have a weapon? It would be very hard to watch your fiance/wife get raped and not have the legal backing to use a firearm.
I dont know why this came to mind, sometimes I wonder if you use your weapon at all your just plain screwed.
