Not only do [the policemen] come after the fact, but they are not required to show up at all. I choose to defend myself and my family.

Where do I say that you should NOT defend yourself and your family?
If you can legitimately defend yourself and your family, go ahead and do it.
All I'm saying, and I'm challenging anyone to prove otherwise, is that the many are almost always stronger than the one. Some people dispute this -- yes, that's right, in an "advanced poker players' forum"...
If, through laws, regulations, agreements, you can get many to defend you against the threat of one or many, this would be almost always optimal.
If instead you have to stand up alone to defend yourself, than that would not be optimal - but you gotta do what you gotta do.
