When do we as Christians draw the line on self-defense?

I am referring to turning the other cheek. With all the violence going on I am wondering if we can protect our selves or does the turn the other cheek mean we should just let someone harm us?

Welcome to the site! I don't want to discourage your participation, but this question has been asked before (in a slightly different way). Also, this is more of a "Pastoral Advice" question than a question about Christianity. I'd recommend checking out the [FAQ] for more of an understanding of what the site is meant for. "Does the Bible say XXXXXXX" questions are specifically mentioned as not a good fit for the site. If you have questions, feel free to ask in chat. – David Stratton Dec 22 '12 at 14:45
