Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

However, when the cell phone video superstar was standing in the roadway blocking the ambulance crew from getting to the injured party, I was happy to escort him to the sidewalk.

Contact your local police department and ask them.

I don't know. I'd guess yes for the city of NY, and probably for the rest of the state. NY dislikes armed citizens who can defend themselves.
