One more reason NOT to live in New York City.

The problem is many folks who do live there have actually come to accept this behavior by police as the norm. I have gotten in discussions with people who live in NYC on other non-gun boards about carrying and guns and such, and they make comments like, "you'd be thrown to the ground with a knee in your back and a gun at your head". A few of those people have been LEO's. So the mindset does permeate both the police and the public up there.

Good article.

This only adds to my current anxiety as my wife and I are traveling to NYC tomorrow to visit my daughter and her husband who are living there temporarily because of his work. For the first time in a long time I will be unarmed and feel unsafe. Sucks to be stripped of your rights and your freedom.

You will still have your rights and freedom. Inalienable rights can't be taken away, though it seems you will be in a place that would punish you for exercising your rights and freedom. Its still your choice.
