Correct.

I almost added...state, county, town...and the written law is not as important as how the local prosecutor interprets it.

The reason e have so many lawyers is that so many people read the same text and swear that it means something that others do not see.

So how the locals interpret the law is a big deal.

You can’t know all of that in every jurisdiction you pass through, but you certainly better know for the area in which you live and work, as that is where you are the most likely to be attacked.

Excellent point. And I currently have no idea how that ‘interpretation’ would go in my area but I’m damned sure going to at least try to find out.

Thanks.
