Hi bigdogger,
Have you had a bad experience with an RV near your property?
So you suggest that a business owner would threaten a boondocking RV with a shot gun? Do you think an RV being parked in front of your business presents a "clear and present danger"?
Perhaps the RV, near your home, belongs to a neighbor who just bought it? Or perhaps it is children being visited by their parents?
I urban boondock a lot. I've never been accosted except by a Church Minister in 12 years of doing so. I had been given permission by the staff at that location, so it all worked out well.

In our neighborhood, we know who should be there and who shouldn't. A vagrant staying in an RV would either ushered out by the police or by one of the residents by the business end of a shotgun. We pay a lot of money for our homes and the security of a good neighborhood, and roadside campers are not part of that deal.
Parking in the business district will earn an equally unfriendly response. Nothing spells potential crime more than people hanging around after business hours. The patrol officers will have you gone long before you enter into REM sleep.
