Zero response to the OP with scripture. You have not defended your stance of Luke 22:36 as an excuse to take life. Thank you for your participation. It proves the point of the Original Post.
"That is a clear misuse of scripture."
"Do you trust Jesus or the locks on the doors of your house?
Do you trust Jesus or the seatbelts in your vehicle? Or its brakes?
Do you trust Jesus or your insurance?
Do you trust Jesus or your savings and income?
Do you trust Jesus or your doctor?
Do you trust Jesus or your fire department?"
"Why do armed Christian Police Officers not violate Scripture or show the same lack of faith that you claim armed citizens do? You do not seem to want to answer each time I ask you this."

"A classic example, if you will, of one who is SO heavenly minded that he is of NO earthly good! I remember when I was a kid, 7-8 YO or so, I actually argued that if it were not God's will for me to die, you could stab me in the heart and it would have no effect. I truly had no concept at that time of God's ordained will vs His permissive will."
"Yest another misuse of scripture and a poor use of logic to boot. Further, are you suggesting that the pastor and 8 other Christians who were just killed by a gunman did not have that hedge of protection around them? Why not? Also, there is a distinct difference between revenge and self defense. Trying to equate self defense with revenge means you have no legitimate argument and you know it. This often happens when one make an attempt to defend the indefensible."

I do not see any mention in Luke 22:36 about a prohibition of violence in defense.
