I'm thinking about moving from a concealed carry state to one with stricter gun laws, good alternatives for self defense? (please don't turn this into a 2nd amendment flame war)

So for work I'm thinking of moving from Ohio to New York (NYC), in Ohio I have a CC license and a handgun. I'm looking at what would be the best legal way to be prepared incase something happens.

I regularly train in martial arts with "controlled chaos" drills (just do whatever short of injuring your uke), but I also know I am not the biggest guy and need more than my body to protect myself. I do value the "defend yourself worry about court later" mentality but I am more of a "defend yourself while not putting yourself at risk of losing your job" person.

What should I look for in terms of self defense tools?
