Many Nevada lawyers and attorneys are pro 2a, myself included. Unfortunatly there is a two fold dilema.
First, should you, as you suggested, be involved with anti-gun law enforcement, you are not entitled to counsel until you are arrested. The first few minutes of your encounter with the LEO are very dynamic and will no doubt determine the short term outcome of the event. The easy advice, and sometimes the best, is to just remain silent but this will likely result in arrest. The upside is that you haven't done any additional damage by making admissions that can later be used against you. On the other hand, if you decide to talk to the officer and impress upon him how the situation was beyond your control, you feared for your life, the other was a known bad guy, you're a good guy and so on, you just might go home. There is no way to advise you on what to do because there is no way to predict the situation. All I can say is think through the potential scenarios before they happen and use your best judgement as the situation unfolds. At the end of the day, if it is apparent that you will be arrested no matter what it is probably best to remain silent and let clearer heads work it out in the morning.
Secondly, no one counselor is going to be the best choice for all your needs. If you need a trust, go to a wills and trusts expert. If you need a criminal attorney, by all means pay for the best (pro 2a or not - we're in it to win regardless of personal inclinations). If you have a regulatory problem then an administrative law pro will be better for you. If you can find a firm with all you need then all the better.
That said, if you don't have a will you should. Go get one and talk to the lawyer about your concerns regarding this issue. He may be just the right guy. If you go to county one night at least he can get you bailed or call a friend that will.
One last thing - always, always be polite and deferential to the LEO. While you are on the street she has all the power. You may be absolutely correct, but they have the badge, and at that point probably your weapon, and a radio that will bring ten more officers that are not the least bit interested in your immediate point of view.
The usual disclaimers apply - not legal advice - no attorney client relationship - just some guy shooting his mouth off on the internet.
Good luck
I have a problem with this question as it appears that you feel that you are doing something wrong and need a lawyer in advance. I know everyone is going to jump all over me for this but I really don't like the attitude that some have about keeping logs of where they carried either openly or concealed then posting it on the Internet. I know they say it is providing information for others but it just looks to me like little boys sneaking a look at Playboy then telling their friends about it.
Like the winning football coach says, act like you been there before. If you are so worried about carrying that you feel that you need to have an attorney on retainer then you might need to revisit your reasons for carrying.

From your comments, it would appear you're reading the priorities of my original post in reverse.
The main priority, is knowing who to call should you ever have to defend yourself. It's a secondary benefit to have someone to call should you ever run into a general problem when lawfully carrying.
