Good OP.

I actually had a spin-off question about the following assertion in the thread:

> [@I'm taking a Glock to NYC. What can I expect?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-taking-a-glock-to-nyc-what-can-i-expect/596074/16):
>
> From a legal standpoint, a police officer is always on duty and is supposed to take action if he observes a serious crime occurring.

Once I realized I was in GQ, I started [another GQ thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=624263) so as not to hijack.
