My current carry weapon is a Ruger LCP with Crimson trace laser:

Regarding the taser and pepper spray, you have to make sure that that will be enough to deter your assailant. The taser's good for maybe one guy but he has to be right up close to you, and what if he's got friends, or what if he's wearing a thick jacket and you can't make contact with his skin? Then the pepper spray, that's a gamble in the sense that it might just as well anger him than make him retreat. I think that if you think your self defense scenarios through, you want something that will give you maximum protection from maximum thugs at maximum distance, which would be a handgun.
