That's exactly it. It would be politically incorrect to say that a crippled woman in a wheelchair should have just handed over her purse meekly to a mugger, so no one in city politics is willing to say that she did something wrong by carrying the gun in a condition and location that made it feasible for her to use it defensively as she did.
Strange, though, that the guy who had a gun in Brooklyn a year or two ago, who defended against a home invader and protected his children (who were in the house when it was invaded) faced charges because he had the gun despite not having a NYC permit. (Oh, and he was black.)
This woman should lose her permit. Not because I think she did anything wrong, but because NYC's laws should not be allowed to be subjectively and selectively enforced. IF they charged her, maybe that would wake some sleeping sheep up to the fact that the laws are set up stupidly.
It will probably take an application of laws that most people don't even think about, like putting a wheelchair-bound woman in jail for a gun "crime," to make the urbanite pansies in NYC, who believe all you need is the police to protect you, start making demands that NYC relax its anti-gun laws.
