Only if you’re not the government.
The exclusive right to commit violence is a standard feature of governments, yes.
I mean that’s basically what the war is about: who all is the government where (i.e. who can arbitrarily kill people legally).
If someone tries to kill you just say “no thank you.”
Legally they cannot kill you.
If you do not consent, their bullets cannot enter your body either
