Can't agree

Example.. know some folks in the US who started their "careers" carrying out judges orders. An substantial amount of these orders were "domestic" and removing wives from their homes - to get away from abusive partners. (They had applied to the court and wanted to be escorted out of their homes - but prob did not tell their husbands)...

That was a "risky" biz, simply because the immediate reaction of a husband was inclined to be violent/physical and a fair chance they may have a weapon. There is no comparison to most other weapons - the couple of people I know are more than able to defend themselves. It was not a kitchen knife they were bothering about - more a hostage scenario with a weapon.
