This entire thread can be closed if the OP could only wrap his head around the fact that correlation does not mean causation. There are places in the world with very low gun ownership with low crime rates too.
NYer here who has lived in three boroughs, and is in exile - for it;s size, NY is not a very violent place.
we were in an Italian restaurant by kennedy airport ... i could pin these guys carrying from across the room .
i doubt they were law abiding citizens but with out confronting them one would not know for sure . so as a cop i would have to decide here what to do . what if i did check and they were not a bad guy .... then what do ya do with the unlicensed carry .
The days of searching people for suspicious bulges only are long over, so I wouldn’t find myself encountering an illegal gun unless other criminality was afoot.
Not only that, neighborhoods should form self-defense leagues. Law-abiding citizens of NYC let themselves be disarmed, and be totally dependent upon the police for protection. Instead of wishing to be saved by daddy Giuliani, organize and get some HEAT. That's how you lower crime. Then save the police for real violent criminals in certain neighborhoods and take them back.
Take some basic fighting lessons too.
What Police, the great liberal mayor has berated and demoralized the police department to the point where they don’t even need to be armed since they would be in jeopardy of losing their job if acting in a normal fashion.
Meanwhile, prison occupants are being released to close down prisons to save money and correction officers are losing their jobs. Do you see a pattern here❓❓It’s only going to get worse.
Instead of arming yourselves, the citizens could elect a republican mayor instead of a progressive mayor. those of us who lived in the city in the 80s and early 90s found that changing the leadership from Dinkins to rudy cleaned up the city, literally.
You mean you go looking at guys' crotches to determine whether they carry, or have a hard on...
I don't want that hobby. Lol

Wondering... what do you think of the proposal about trained teachers carrying in school settings?
