No man, society, or government has the right to assume the role of a criminal and initiate the use of physical force against anyone. As men desire to live together, no man may start the use of physical force against others. Whoever that initiates the use of force, no matter the purpose or to which extent, is a killer acting as a destroyer of a man’s capacity to live. Men have the right to use physical force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate the use of it. The ethical principle involved is simple; it is the difference between murder and self-defense. The principle is that no man may obtain any values from others by resorting to physical force. Force and mind are opposites. Morality ends where a gun begins. When men abandon reason, physical force becomes their only means of dealing with one another and of settling disagreements. Reality threatens man with death if he does not act on his rational judgment. Force is the antonym of reason and thought. Understanding is not produced by a punch in the face, or from the muzzle of a gun, or by terror. The mind is a cognitive faculty, it cannot achieve knowledge or through the perception or reality, and it cannot be forced.

Well I do agree with Donaldo. Physical force can be used only when you need it. Normally the right way to use physical force is when you will defend yourself fromm any harm which I think its right.
