Okay, this is going to sound a little complicated and dramatic, so bear with me.
MY girlfriend's sister has recently seperated from her abusive husband (an illegal immigrant from Mexico) pending a divorce. They have a 3 year-old girl that is staying with my girlfriend's family because neither of the parents are in a situation to care for her.
Yesterday the husband called their house saying that he was going to take the child with him. They have a sturdy front door, but no firearms and only women in the house.
I have told them that I can be there if they need me, and I will have a mossberg 500 18.5" barrel shotgun (00 buck) with me.
Is this too extreme? I know a firearm is a last resort, but I don't like the idea of an abusive guy who's already upset about losing his kid around my girlfriend or her family.
Any advice is greatly appreciated,
Thanks guys.
