Since Jesus refused to even carry a knife and admonished Peter for using a sword, it’s clear he frowned upon weapons and wasn’t one prone to violence*. Now, if the definition of a Christian is one who follows the teachings and precepts of Christ, then it logically follows that a true Christian should roam the world unarmed.
But, if you cite what you consider legitimate reasons for needing to be armed, bully for you. Here’s to reason! Unfortunately though that means you worship someone whose judgment you deem to be less sound than your own, at which time you have lowered the concept of “reverent worship” into a pit of abject silliness.
