I would guess that it's one thing to go against the prevailing authority and another to protect oneself for a criminal.
Jesus forwarned the destruction of Jerusalem and warned them to flee.
In any confrontation it is either flee or flight. I guess what we have is a discussion on choice of weapon, prayer or pistol.
I was taught to avoid trouble if possible.
