Good to know things are safe in NYC
Unless the other guy has knives and a meat cleaver. Rather underscores the point made by the women legislators' brief in Parker/Heller. If the victim had been armed, the killer would have been killed. If they'd both had guns, it would at least have been an equal fight (and odds are the guy would have stayed home rather than go to an equal fight). As it was, he knew he had a victim and she was cornered.

Ah yes, but the escalation would have been extremely short-lived (as would the knife-wielder)!
