While I generally agree with what Rod is saying, saying "NYC is safe" is
like saying "all routers are cisco"
There are safe areas, and there are not safe areas. I don't know how the
Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn bridge rates, but I don't think I'd be
overly concerned. And, since people going to NANOG tend to have a
herding instinct, there shouldn't be a problem.=20

Yes, but in at least most of those locations, my Florida or Utah CCW is
valid.
