I didn't know that NYC was exempt from the US Constitution and Second Amendment.
My uncle carries a gun in his car and on his person within the city, and he is NOT in law enforcement. Of course he has a concealed firearm permit but if you get that you can carry and use it to defend yourself in this very type of situation.
You uncle must have connections or thinks he's legal but isn't. NYC must issue the CCP no other jurisdiction matters unless LEO.

Of all the states that issue carry pistol licenses, New York State has arguably the strictest handgun licensing policies in the nation.[9] New York City, which is effectively a "no-issue" jurisdiction for carry pistol licenses,[10] has even stricter laws, including those regulating handguns exclusively kept at home, thereby making it difficult to virtually impossible for ordinary citizens to obtain, possess, or carry firearms lawfully within New York City.[11] Permits have been issued, however, to a small number of celebrities, politicians, attorneys and other well-connected individuals.
