She’d have been nuts to go without one. Some would say she’d have been nuts to go at all. Because even if you defend yourself from the mob, you can have a bigger mob to contend with — especially in a “blue” city.
She certainly wasn’t very cautious. Might she be trying to establish standing for a challenge?
And how come she rates a permit but most New Yorkers don’t?
