Newbie with a question

I avoid 5th and use 10th when practical. My concern is, what do the ECU and city police understand about the law?

Oh yes, and leave your umbrella at home. But that's another story.................

Well, 1000 feet is about 1/5 of a mile. I'm CERTAIN that the convenience store beside the "Sup Dog" on 5th and Reade is well within that range, and I was involved in a traffic accident (actually I was out of my vehicle and some kid backed into it with his pickup truck) while I was OCing my Glock 36 and half a dozen GPD officers watched the whole thing from across the street.

They didn't make me disarm. They didn't treat me like a criminal. GFSZ didn't even enter into the discussion. All in all, I thought they handled it very professionally.

Of course in G-Vegas, as we all know, YMMV, depending on your age and appearance...

You were on private property. There might be a different reaction if you were bumped on 5th street and standing on the public sidewalk. YMMV according to who shows up to make the report, also.
After seeing video and print media of the umbrella story that you are very familiar with, I usually take a different path.
