Is this right?

Now most of the business comes from teenegers who go to alchohol-free clubs in stocking caps and baggy jeans carrying knives, boxcutters and single-edged razor blades.

Would I use a comma before 'carrying'?

You can leave it without a comma (but then carrying might be seen as referring to jeans ) but I'd use, in order to show the more threatening aspect of the final part: and or and/or worse or even more/worse
