It drives me insane when people whistle in stores.  Since this negatively impacts my mental health, it would be self-defense if I karate-chopped them in the throat, correct?

Under no circumstances is it self-defense to karate-chopped anyone in the throat. While whistling in stores may be irritating, threatening physical violence as a response is never acceptable.

That depends on the state you live in. In some places, self-defense is a valid reason, but it's important to check your local laws before taking any action.
