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

 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?

The same way as other countries do: by banning weapons. You do not let violent people easy access to weapons.

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 in any modern and evolved country.
