9. I'm pretty sure that by carrying in NYC without a permit she was committing a felony.

No amount of fantasizing about the second amendment will change that. I doubt that even Scalia would go so far as to insist that NYC needs to allow people without valid permits to carry around concealed weapons.

I agree that Bloomberg should have used the word "alleged". So both of them made mistakes. One omitted a word during a press conference, the other committed a felony and potentially endangered the lives of many New Yorkers (as well as her own) by illegally carrying a gun in a crowded area of NYC.

Part of the responsibility of a CCW permit is to know the laws and follow the laws. If you can't do that, you shouldn't have a CCW permit. And by follow the laws, I mean follow the actual laws, not simply using the second amendment as an excuse to ignore the laws and carry a gun around anywhere you want to.
