It's interesting to me that in the book of Acts, when Paul was being threatened by Jewish assassins, the church didn't send out armed guards to protect him. They instead appealed to the Roman government for protection.
In fact, we never see the church making use of weapons in Acts or any discussion of such in the epistles, despite Jesus' teaching in Luke 22:36.

Yes! Great point, Tim!
