Reader Question

NYPrepnet,

I don’t know how much of your readership lives in/around NYC but I’m looking for some suggestions for my daughter who’s moving to Manhattan in a few months.  What do folks carry for self-defense in the city…what’s legal or what do the police look the other way on.  Out here in flyover country she’d be carrying pepper spray for a few more years then I’d move her into a CCW pistol when she was old enough...but I have no idea what she can get away with in NYC.  She’s still young enough that she’s concerned with appearances so I’m looking for something that is ‘normal’ for young ladies there.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide,

AJ

Andrew,

I don't live near the city but I know the gun laws are rediculous.  I will refer you to http://ny-prepnet.blogspot.com/2013/08/guest-post-new-york-knife-law-for.html 
Honestly I can't imagine why anyone would move there but I'm sure she has her reasons.  If anyone else has suggestions feel free to write them in the comments or send them to me and I will forward them to Andrew.
