The cops are still cutting her a break. An NYC target permit requires that the holder carry their weapon unloaded in a case and the ammo be kept separately. An absurd distinction, just so a law abiding citizen won't be able to use their weapon for self defense should it prove necessary.
Another interesting tidbit, if you happen to carry the weapon loaded, it is treated as a violation of your permit terms, not a crime.
Despite the research by scholars like Lott and Kleck most of the anti-gun crowd doesn't want to be confused by facts.
Bloomberg is more concerned with making it a crime in NYC to light up a cigarette than with allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against real crime.
