Thank you one and all for your responses. Does anyone know if the gun laws that pertain to your home also apply to your motorhome? If someone is in my coach who is uninvited and seems unwilling to leave I've seen enough Dirty Harry movies to know a Smith & Wesson may help things along.
But do you have the same protections as a private home?
In some states yes, in some no. It is called a Castle Doctrine and not all states treat your RV as a home. Some states treat it as a home when hooked up and parked, but most all states consider it a vehicle when it is on the road.
They have a good book that covers what you can and cannot do as you travle to different states. This book is updated yearly. Traveler's Guide
For information purposes only, the Montana "castle doctrine" law states "occupied structure". It does not say anything about "home" or "RV", or anything else, just "occupied structure". See MCA 45-3-103
sooooo...how is "structure" defined in their law?
