Then Jesus’ admonition to ‘buy a sword’ may well be in vogue? Revelation talks about a time when if a person kills some one then that person will also be killed...Others may know if it refers to a offence defence type of scenario. One may not simply kill but is allowed to defend one self...?

Any comments anyone?

Hire Odinists for security. They won’t waste time wondering if their actions make them look holy enough.

I see no Biblical rule that self-defense is automatically wrong (sorry, pacifists.) Also, if it’s un-Christian to defend oneself, then it’s also un-Christian to call the police to do indirectly what we are supposedly not allowed to do directly.
