I honestly don't think I would have a problem killing someone if I viewed it as a necessity. I got over the whole reluctance to do violence a long time ago. I got over the reluctance to break bones when simple violent reaction didn't work. I got over the thing of not hitting girls when doing my best to avoid a violent one didn't work.
I learned to trust my instincts when violence broke out, and if someone put me into a situation where there was a method of fatal violent action imminent around me, I would not hesitate to kill any threat near me. I've ended up coming damn close to it before with my bare hands, it would be far too easy with a weapon.
