Not in NYC you can’t. Knives cannot be more than four inches long. Don’t know if that counts the curvy part. Fortunately, there is oven cleaner. Spray that in an enraged psycho’s eyes, and he’ll go down. Then GTF out. Do not wait for the police. Don’t forget what they did to Bernard Goetz when he finally got found.
Sorry to hear that. I think you could legally carry a tactical pen or a sock with a padlock in it. Very effective.
Thankfully I’m 2k miles away from Mamdani Beeblebrox’s utopia.
