Something that makes me disappear instantly and teleports me to the pub down the street. Cold beer is better than hot fight.

Foot held point shoot thing
Magical aura that reads intentions and zaps people. Diablo 2 paladin auras essentially.😺
High voltage contact shirt. You touch me, you fry
also good for making grilled cheese sandwiches
We always imagine personal defense weapons as a hand held point shoot thingy.
We do? What is wrong with a baseball bat? Or a sock filled with quarters?
Both require a lot more effort to stop a threat and can be captured and disarm you at their effective range.

Held in hand. Point. "Shoot".
The best defense is avoidance. To that end, a personal time-travel / prognostication device that could both predict danger and chronoport you back to before danger was imminent would be the ultimate defense, though suppose not strictly a "weapon".
