How old is your daughter? I went out alone after 9 in the bad old 70s and 80s. Most NYC streets (as well as Hoboken, etc) are pretty busy in the early evening.
She is nearly 22, but going OUT after 9 (quite common) means coming back at later hours, and not always at the same time to the same place. While she has a concealed carry permit here in Ga, it is useless in NJ.
It’s a condition Yellow thing. (cooper’s colors)
