XXX,
I lived in NY for 35 years when times were good and I carried a weapon illegally! Did you ever hear of Bernard Goetz? He is one of the heroes of NYC! I would let them get a peek of my weapon and they would walk away. So I never had to use it, but the threat was always there! Today Forgetaboutit!
Luckily I only have to drive into and then back out of the City. Even still, I keep a can of Bear Spray next to me on the seat.
