I would also absolutely tell you to do a whole lot of study and research and to make sure every "t" is crossed and every "i" is dotted. And you might consider buying a ballistic vest and wearing it under a shirt that hides it (check OR law of course, in my state at least wearing a vest without commiting any crime yourself and while unarmed is considered a purely defensive measure) there was one time in my life where I had a dangerous job where I was unarmed and exposed to less then nice people on a daily basis and that was the only legal measure I could take to keep myself from being a total target victim. I am serious about that suggestion and I am also saying it to give you an idea what kind of response you are potential facing if you p*$$ of the wrong person.
