Anyone bringing a gun to protect themselves better be well trained in using one in crowded areas with innocent people on the streets. Also have a license that is valid in NYC, or you may see a dangerous place, Rikers Island. Every time you travel be aware of your surroundings and if you get lost or confused, ask a cop. They’re all over the place. My Son and his wife live in Manhattan and love the city like I do. To those of you who don’t like NYC, stay safe at home, they will not miss you. I meet friends and family there all the time and give them tours, I have them bring walking shoes because it’s the best way to get around midtown.
BTW I wanted to see the Grand Canyon and hope to do so this year! I heard some people fall in, but I’m still going!
Agree with the whole post....except the Grand Canyon missive. Unlike NYC, they usually (if it was a female) don’t get randomly punched in the face before ‘falling in’ to the canyon below
