Protection comes in all shapes and sizes. A gun doesn't choose who fires it, and it doesn't change shape in the user's hand—whether to protect, or to attack, it's the same tool. Weapon use is in the intention, what result you're pursuing. Do you want to save someone? Or kill someone? You could be doing both—but what are you thinking of, when you pull the trigger?
No one is going to force you to join, but it might not be such a bad idea to talk to others about their feelings on what it means to protect.
