For sure - You can legally carry a gun in Rochester, NY if you have the permit....the only catch is, it has to have a trigger lock in place - some protection...
kinda like saying you can eat all the creamed corn you want - just don't open the can...
That sounds like a great way to get killed. You might as well use harsh language to stop an armed attacker. Instead of carrying a gun, the people of Rochester should just carry a brick, since the gun is about as useful in that instance.
