In this case I don't think a "no policy" option is necessary - because in this case, if there exists nothing like self-defense in a country, killing/harming somebody in self-defense is no different than harming/killing somebody without reason, and thus the same like option nr. 4.

Other than that, no objections, although it should be made clear that self-defense only exists against an unlawful attack (and not, for example, against a policeman trying to arrest you because you just killed somebody).
Eines Tages traf Karl der Große eine alte Frau.
"Guten Tag, alte Frau", sagte Karl der Große.
"Guten Tag, Karl der Große", sagte die alte Frau.
Solche und ähnliche Geschichten erzählt man sich über die Leutseligkeit Karls des Großen.
