early-church church-fathers morality self-defense weapons

                          As you know there were many prophets in the Bible who were armed and had swords for self-defence.  Jesus himself allowed St. Peter and his apostles to buy a sword for self-defence. But did any of the Early Church Fathers believe that being armed to defend yourself was ever justified?
