Probably medium catagory for me. At home the answer is yes to everything. In car yes to most of the emergency stuff but no to most of the self defence. My vehicle is subject to searches at work and weapons are not allowed. On my person I always have a knife but consider it a tool instead of a weapon.
I'll echo what Shackle Me Not said, mindset is the best defence. As an example, I drive an above average number of miles, often at weird hours and where help can be a long way away. So for me it makes sense to bias the list toward mechanical fixes that can prevent long walks. Accordingly I'll add a good flashlight and cell phone to the car list, and I no longer wait until the tires are bald before replaceing them.
