You must have missed this part:

I will continue this throughout her entire upbringing so that if (ok, when) someone continues to do something she has said stop or no to, it will be unambiguously wrong to her.

It should feel wrong to her. That's the point. And there will be explanations later that not everyone respects the first "stop" or "no" and that she should do something about those people.

She will learn about guns and I will offer to help her get a license to carry. I'm afraid those that would not respect her "stop" or "no" will be the ones getting their world view shattered.

It's kind of strange that you seem to believe I won't be able to explain this...

I've already had to explain that she can completely ignore people, including adults, who say things like, "god will punish you" and she's not even 5 yet.
