Seriously, unless you're also a teenager I don't think that this is a terribly likely scenario, unless you go out of your way to offend someone, and they come back 10 minutes later with all their buddies.


there is a rise in swarming attack perpetrated by teenagers against adults. for example, the new york times mentioned a bunch of hoodlums attacks young women at Chinatown.

Is it necessary to carry a knife for defense in this situation?
