This is a matter that has irked me for quite some time.Most Witnesses actually do believe in Law Enforcement protection ,and to some extent, personal "self defense" as long as it doesn't involve a weapon or martial arts training.
I have never had any problem with defending myself or a loved one. Hell, I have even defended strangers when I have seen the need. For me it makes no sendse to just be a victim. So if I kicked in some jerk's ass or if I have to shoot someone, I am just going to do it. I am not bloodthirsty at all, but I find that living with not doing something is worse than having bloodguilt!
