Re: Can my family members use my register firearms inside my home?
I know I'm repeating what's been said, but it's a valid point. For the price of $4/year ($20/5 years) you have an insurance policy against any kind of inadvertent repercussions... That's cheap. Regardless how she feels about it, just get it anyway to make it, if you pardon the expression, bulletproof.
Edit: It also covers you if you enter a reciprocal state. PA is the only state I know of where the spouse is actually partially covered by the other spouse's LTCF... but that also assumes that law enforcement knows about that exception!"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves." ― Edward R.

Re: Can my family members use my register firearms inside my home?
I would hesitate to assume that the exception provided while "operating a vehicle" would cover the wife as a passenger waiting alone in a vehicle - it might have some validity if she was the driver and you were the absent passenger. I'm unaware of any definition of the term in the relevant statutes or on-point case law. The phrase is used throughout the Motor Vehicle Code with varying definitions by the courts but these cases would be "off-point" with respect to 18 Pa CS 6106.
As such it would be prudent to avoid the situation or, as a lesser alternative, secure the firearm in some form of a locked container to which the wife has no access and thus no possession.IANAL
