 Pre-empirically carrying a gun is not "self-defence". Its weakness.
Billions of people are quite capable of not becoming a victim without

 Yes, screaming I AM NOT A VICTIM at the thug with a knife will definitely send him on his way abashed and save Granny from being harmed. Or perhaps you were thinking of the umbrella with the sharpened tip?

 You still haven't explained why the US has so many more deaths than
other countries similar to it.

 I have no idea why.  Do you?  Perhaps we are just violent people.
 Given that this is true, how do we best protect ourselves when law enforcement is too far away to be protective?
 A few nights ago a guy pulled a knife on a woman, forced her to drive to a different location and raped her.  This happened a few blocks away. What should she have done?

Same as any women in the other 99% of countries that do not have gun-obessessed idiots.  :-\
Most people in the world have enough sense to know that owning a gun achieves absolutely nothing, so don't want one and don't need one. Americans (and it's only a loud-mouthed minority of those!) don't have that simple sense.
