We should be in the clear, Back Bay/Baxter Blvd/Back Cove whatever you call it i believe is Public Property since it is maintained by City of Portland. Cheverus High School is a Private Institution notpart of the PortlandPublic School system. The 500 foot part of the law is only for discharging a firearm, and i don't plan on doing that unless someones life is in danger.
