Batan and OC. Knife would be good. Let me recommend something I don't see others talk much about. Get some self defence experience so you are better fighting in close quarters AND on the ground as most fights transition to the ground. Grappling skills and weapon retention skills are really important. Also a good taser is a great option.
Agree with this, as well as being situationally aware and able to flee and evade if need be. Being able to make sound judgements as when to Fight or Flee is important. I've been in several situations where weapons were pulled on me and had to make that decision quickly where an attacker is in close quarters but every situation is different and your judgement can be what saves your life or avoids injury.
