In my state, a knife carried as a weapon is illegal.  They're all "tools" if you know what's smart.  We don't have CCW licenses, we have CHL licenses (Concealed Handgun License).  Even in self defense, using a blade can get you in trouble if it is determined that you were carrying it as a weapon to begin with.   Of course, getting killed because you don't have a weapon can even be more troublesome.

Pepper spray has been proven to enrage attackers unless you can get it DIRECTLY in the eyes. Stunn guns work, but the trouble is, you have to have it in your hand exactly when the violent attack occurs. A TASER is a good choice, but again, you have to be ready. If you choose to fight with a knife, be prepared to bleed some yourself. Again, throwing a knife is a mistake. Personally, I pack a snubnose .38. I don't like getting cut, I don't like breathing my own pepper spray, and I don't like carrying a stun gun because it looks too much like a cell phone, which I detest. The best way is to have it done cleanly by someone so removed from the situation that it is impossible to connect him. Also, if the asswhipping option is used, it should be permanent, making the asshole wheel chair bound for life.................................Kingpin

UPDATE!!! I just found out that many wasp sprays are very effective. They spray a stream about 20' and can be very effective on idiots, up to and including paraylization temporarily until the cops arrive. It's not premeditated, because anyone can have trouble with wasps. Keep a can handy by each door and maybe even one in the car. The cans are big, and I would think too large to carry in the average purse...............Kingpin+

You should only need one shot though, right?  Kind of like those .410 derringers, four OOO buckshot per shot, who could practice with it much though.

In MT a knife (blade length over legal 2 3/4") carried concealed is a felony, a pistol a misdemeanor (without permit or in prohibited area), choice is clear cut to me.
