Does anyone have access to WT library? I was having this debate with this guy about handguns and he was saying you can have one if it's for something specific like hunting. (Or even for self defens...

You're touching on a couple of points there. Here's some answers from the wt lib. *[Can a Christian maintain a good conscience if he accepts employment that involves being armed?]* /[w05 11/1...

So to sum this up, a baseball bat works just as well, and has non-lethal effects if you whack the person in the arms and legs.

live by the sword, die by the sword. You don't have to kill with a sword to live by the sword. Peter merely cut the high priest's assistant's ear off. He didn't slay the man. But Jesus uttered those words, anyway. Just because you can pull a bat on someone and NOT kill em, doesn't mean you should.

*Just because I say this, doesn't mean I know what I would if I were protecting my family in a situation like this. When I was 13, and left at the house alone for the very first time, I carried a knife with me until my mom got back home, lol. Of course, I've come a long way from there since then.... except for the carrying a knife on me in case I'm alone and get attacked part. jk. Why am I talking?

Actually my statement was a joke. But, I mean I think most of our natural reactions would be to defend ourselves if we're attacked. I'm not going to let someone beat me unless I know it's to defend Jehovah's name. Then it's an honor to be beat up. If it's just a guy breaking in, I'd probably drop kick him. LOL!

well, once I realized it was matt, I put the knife down. But I smashed a bottle of sake over his head. because sake is also popular in china, where I learned Cantanese.
