There are many instances were it is discussed in the scriptures, but these two will suffice:<br /><br />The Book of Mormon, Alma 43:47, states: "And again, the Lord has said that: <b>Ye shall defend your families even unto bloodshed.</b> Therefore for this cause were the Nephites contending with the Lamanites, to defend themselves, and their families, and their lands, their country, and their rights, and their religion."<br /><br />The Doctrine and Covenants, 134:11, states: "We believe that men should appeal to the civil law for redress of all wrongs and grievances, where personal abuse is inflicted or the right of property or character infringed, where such laws exist as will protect the same; but <b>we believe that all men are justified in defending themselves, their friends,</b> and property, and the government, from the unlawful assaults and encroachments of all persons <b>in times of exigency, where immediate appeal cannot be made to the laws, and relief afforded.</b>"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
