This could literally mean buy a sword to take up arms. I carry almost always. In case God decides to use me to protect another.
However, I would caution against advocating that this is it's meaning. For the weapon of a Christian is the Word of God. The biggest mistake we can make is misrepresenting the Word of God.
Luke 22:35
And He said to them, "When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?" They said, "No, nothing."
Luke 22:38
They said, "Lord, look, Here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."
Luke 22:50
But Jesus answered and said "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.
If violence was what Jesus was advocating, why heal the servant of the high priest? In verse 35 Jesus is reminding them that the Holy Spirit provides everything we need.
Should you feel that you should buy guns, then do so. But to imply that this verse means go get a gun for war.... I do not wish to see good folk misrepresent God's Word because they do not understand fully.
Romans 12:19-21
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head
