Yorick,
NYC has too many gun control laws. One cannot "Legally" own or carry anything in the city. Now, just because it's illegal, doesn't mean it won't happen. But, for 'Law abiding citizens' that is a straight act of un-constitutionalism!
For a fresh look, compare the entire state of Oregon (where we have open carry) VS NYC were guns are flatout outlawed, to the gun related crime rate. I'm betting bling 4to1 odds NYC is greater. Why? Because you'd be a fool to use a gun where every citizen is either packing or has the right to carry. In your adopted city, only 'outlaws' are packing. How to fix? Allow open carry.
