I'm not judging you at all-- former military guy who has no problem with killing in the proper context.
Just the testimony you gave and then your actions don't marry up. It caused me to pause.

Jermyn,
I don't think my actions are dangerous. I do remember walking some years ago and this guy was hanging out of a passenger door. He was either about to throw something at me or shoot me. As he stuck out his hand I turned around and he yelled, dropped what was in his hand and he began shaking his hand. Did God supernaturally burn his hand, perhaps. In 2007 I was driving in CA when these gangsters pulled out a gun, pointed at me and pulled the trigger. I heard the click. Did God make that bullet a dud if it was loaded, yes. Police came but couldn't find them. Last year I was driving to church and another gangster started throwing gang sign at me and wanted me to get off the car to fight him. I tried driving away and he tried blocking me in traffic. I made a u-turn and struck his car to get away. Police came, other guy drove off, and witness gave their statement.
I didn't have a gun on me during these events. Sure God kept me, but having a pistol on me wouldn't have been too bad. I'm a people person and get along with everyone. If I had a pistol on me and was confronted by a group of thugs, I would walk away and tell them I don't want any problems. However, if they were persistent and demanded something of me by threat of bodily harm, and if God didn't intervene, I would without hesitation put a window in the body of any individual threatening my life.
Should I carry a pistol after my "camp meeting" experience, probably not. But that's a situation I'm working out with God.
