The other thread got pretty long, lots of great stuff in there.
Here's one, you are bicycling alone on a park bike trail, a rails to trails paved trail and you are at least 5 miles from any known cross street. You passed thru Washington DC and decided to be legal, not carrying a gun, no big serious knife, maybe a Delica in your pocket.
But suddenly an oncoming cyclist veers into you, knocking you down and suddenly there are six high school age gangbangers yelling at you, circling you menacingly, holding your bike, threatening to take it away to pay for the damages you caused.
Your knee and elbow are slightly scraped and bleeding a little, you don't yet know if either bike is damaged. No weapons have been deployed, what can you do?
