she violated the recently passed city law that prohibits civilians from bringing firearms to protests, the police said
At no point in time was anyone menaced or injured as a result of her possessing the firearm
Unless she was threatening someone (the article specifically claims she wasn’t), she will be acquitted. One does not have just one right at a time, one has all their rights all the time.
Bringing a gun to a protest is the crime, so there’s no question she’s guilty, but I expect the whole point is to challenge it to the Supreme Court and get it struck down.

Can you even own and walk around with a concealed weapon in NYC? I thought that was illegal in itself
NYC used to (functionally) ban carry. Such broad restrictions were struck down last year in Bruen.
