Luke 7:27-30--"But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the personwho takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic".
-->Gun owners: Toss the gun and get a dog. If someone gets in your home just lock yourself in a room, call the cops...Break-ins are rarely ever for the purpose of homicide. You actually are at greater risk if you walk up to a robber with a gun, as he may have one too.
It's been a good while since I read the New Testament, but I believe there is a passage in which Jesus instructs one of his disciples to take his sword and perform an errand. Maybe someone else knows what passage I'm talking about. That doesn't really sound like instructions to put yourself at the mercy of common thieves.
edit: This explains it better
I do agree that agressive war is not biblical however.
