I don't think you would be charged with trespassing in that situation, much less convicted, except maybe in Austin. The clear defense is 9.22.

My logic is that I might be charged with trespassing if I intervene while carrying concealed, regardless of what is happening indoors. Is my thinking flawed?
I personally would not get involved. Not because I'm worried about prosecution but because I believe in karma.
