Voting is the proper way to overthrown the government. The other ways are more violent.

Nothing wrong violence as a last resort. Especially in reply to violence used against you.

I'm not a violent person. I abhor it honestly.

That being said, actual self defense is always valid.

That's why I train and carry.

Yep. Pacifism without an exception for self defense is just suicide to me.
