I'm taking a Glock to NYC. What can I expect?

OK but this stems to why the need to carry a firearm, inquiring minds want to know.

Are baddies out to gun him down? It is so he can be available to the local cops when things go down? Is it a security blanket for him? Is it a macho thing? Because he can? Is there a need to be able to intimidate others or have the ability to do so? Fear of civil unrest? Some combination of reasons?

From a legal standpoint, a police officer is always on duty and is supposed to take action if he observes a serious crime occurring.
