Just be honest and tell us that your faith upholds your belief that killing is bad. Be honest and admit that there are some Christians that kill. They do. It's documented. You don't, and that's great.
Killing is bad regardless of the situation, self defense or murder. We Christians believe this because God says it is. A person before they became a Christian may not see killing as bad in some instances, they are changed however after becoming a Christian and should believe killing is bad. I for one believe everyone has a right to self defense even to the point of killing. I believe that a Christian will do everything possible to avoid the situation of killing. I my self have rottweilers as a deterrent to home invasion. As for murder it is forbidden by God.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
