Law enforcement? Sure; they make the laws, they can enforce them. But personal defense? A different matter entirely. Law enforcement just means they track down and punish anyone who breaks the laws (they do a bad job at this, and not just in the US, but that's another story). Thing is, if someone's attacking me, I'm MUCH more interested in stopping the attack than in whether they are punished afterwards.
