Tell them to leave you alone at least twice, take several retreating steps. if they're still in your face sucker punch them into next week. This is the ancient Japanese martial art of 合法的な拳 It'll will fully protect you from your opponents ultimate techniques 警察 and 訴訟事件.
To amend this slightly:
Having a gun is good, but mostly useless starting point.
You need to train with said firearm.
Not just marksmanship either, because while having accuracy is good, you also need to be able to reload, clear jams, and reposition without fucking up.
____________
Since you can't have a gun, you should run in most circumstances. Practice Cardio.
Even when you get a gun and know how to use it, practice cardio.
I'm not the one living in Chicago lol
When fighting a giant enemy crab, attack its weak point for massive damage

e: Oh he's banned, now he'll never see my expert self-defense tip
The most important things I have learned being an incredible asshole, bouncer, infantryman:
1.) It can be one punch or one stray bullet to the dome and its lights out. You're not superman, even dudes you have weight on can do this
2.) Learn how to grapple and toss. The majority of my altercations have ended up here. Ground control is real important
3.) If someone pulls a knife or a gun on you, and you think you could flee without chase of not getting shot as soon as you turn your back, hit it.
4.) If you are in that same situation but that dude is deadset on lighting you up or digging you with steal you should take two different approaches, neither are running initially
a.) Gun: Always use the arm that can pull the gun to the outside. That is where you want to keep it. I know some people are like meh meh meh, but fuck you, if you can take a chance to mag dump into empty space, take it. That being said, don't turn your back unless you know they are incapacitated. You don't turn your back on a dude that is trying to kill you.
b.) Knife: way way more devastating than a gun can be. If you are in a situation where you have to engage, go in using the forearms, There is no tip, you are going to have to look it up, and make damn sure you have a game plan. Getting stabs hurts like fuck, and I can tell you that if you really start pouring out you will pass the fuck out, Know where your major organs are and major veins and arteries and mostly exposed. Past that, learn to macgyver tourniquets. If you do implement a tourni, make damn sure you remember the time. A couple hours at most is what you can allow.
5.) You will blank out. I remember my blankouts especially ones where I was unarmed and getting a weapon pulled on me, the only though I had was "I am going to get real fucked up". So train, exercise and start forcing yourself to be very aware of the area and situation around you.
6.) If the opponent is down leave. Don't kick a fags head in because you're keyed the fuck up. Thats bad practice, criminal and usually is done by faggots who need an ass beating
7.) I really am a fan of mace. I have had mace be a very important part of why I'm not fucked up or doing hard time. Its cheap, lightweight and fucking effective. If you use it, you better be aware of how you react
8.) Don't open carry, don't draw attention to yourself, keep to yourself. Army SF are called the "Silent Professionals" for a reason. Don't go anywhere to be a loud and obnoxious dipshit
9.) Always overestimate your opponent. I don't care if you are like "pfft. I got this", treat every threat as serious shit.
10.) If they have numbers on you, book it. That is a losing situation. I don't care if you think being armed negates that. Tough shit, it doesn't in a lot of cases. Go try shooting moving targets. Then realize you are going to be doing shit like that while you aren't able to think about anything. Having a gun does not guarantee safety.
Last, since I realized I should just cut it now before I write a thesis: do what you can to not engage in any fight. Leaving doesn't make you a coward, not escalating a situation does not make you a bitch, Not engaging is by far the best option. Gettin locked up because you needed to KO some punk bitch because he was being reckless isn't worth it. Like my first point, one good punch, one straight bullet or anything in any multitude of scenarios can end you. Fighting is not fun, being an agro fuck isn't cool. No one will like you and want to be around you.

Continue screaming "I FEEL THREATENED I FEEL THREATENED" as you stomp their larynx flat. It will play well in court.
Angry people make terrible, irrational decisions. This is the only logic I'm operating on for that advice, but I'll go back and amend it.
I feel like open carry is the equivalent of showing everybody your hand when you're playing poker. As well, open carriers often seem to do so with firearms that are large and impractical. I have, I shit you not, observed people open carrying Desert Eagles and single action (the Ruger hunting type) revolvers. I mean if you can draw and fire that before an aggressor can get to you more power to you, but it seems silly to me.
Being an obnoxious asshole is basically looking for trouble. People looking for trouble tend to find it.

Hey don't be all reasonable about it, I thought threads like these were about flexing our ego's
I don't know why but that put Cold Steel's wonderfully cringe advertisements into my mind. For when a guy just has to stab a car.
I'd nominate ashida kim if he was still making content
No it is not made in jest. If you doubt it watch this: https://youtu.be/b6a1BuEB38w?t=462

The bizarreness of deluded "martial artists" making fools of themselves is one of the world's sweetest wines.
I could probably create a whole selection of 80s-90s martial arts lolcows if anyone gave a fuck.
Oh, there are plenty. Going back to Count Dante in the 70's. Frank Dux. The guy that made Miami Connection. So, so many.

If 1v1, 90% of the time, still run. Don't ruin your life and emotionally scar your loved ones lives because of pride.
This applies if you're bigger than the aggressor, think you can "take them," and find running embarrassing. Guys who win a lot of fights still get brain damage. Don't be that person.
Your advice seems obvious for if you absolutely have to fight, however.
Tips:
1: Learn to de-escalate. You win every fight you're not in.
2: Learn to run. You win every fight you get away from.
3: Learn some basic joint manipulation, and grappling. So many fights go to the ground, learn that, but don't make that your first resort. It's useful if needed, but it should never be your first shot.
4: Mace is fucking great. It's easy to conceal and burns like a bastard. Mace them in the face and then fucking book it. Don't stop running until you're at least a mile away, and make sure you're not followed.

"I was in fear of my life"
Those are magic words. Don't say anything else.... ever. To anyone, not even your lawyer.

Open-carriers making a statement are easy to spot; as described, they're often toting a lot more iron & in a manner that's often not wise.
OTOH, it depends a lot on how/what you carry; I tend to tote a Makarov or PA-63 more often than not in a horizontal-draw full flap holster I made from a multimeter pouch, and it's gotten zero attention in the years I've carried that way.
Then again... I make it a point to not hang out in front of counters or lines, and I definitely don't let people stand behind me or on my blind side, and that's something usually only training or PTSD ensures. Open carrying any weapon takes a lot more situational awareness than most people posess. Otherwise it gets pretty tiresome making threat-assesments every time you pull into a 7/11.
Affirmatory.
Tip #1: I've actually made friends from just laughing in the face of a potential fight; the more maniacal, the better. It either unsettles your opponent to the point that they question the wisdom of tangling with someone who thinks the situation is fun, or the incongruity of your response forces them off their game.
Tip #2: The tips in Zombieland weren't just for comedic effect; cardio is highly important, don't just rely on adrenaline, especially if you're not in shape. The crash afterwards is a lot worse.
I think the best self-defense for anyone is situational awareness. Nothing else is as effective as removing yourself from the situation entirely. A few people have advocated running which is almost always the best answer, but not walking down an alley or going to a college bar will save you the headache most of the time. Don't go to places with aggressive retards and you will find your chances of random violence diminishing fast. I have my keys out before I get to my vehicle, in my off hand so I can draw my pistol if I had to. Use your eyes and ears to watch your surroundings, not your cell phone. This all requires personal responsibility, maybe it's just easier to teach men not to rape. 
just carry a machete. all you need to do is work on upper body strength and cardio, climb and run.
