Umm, it's voluntary, you can stop doing service with some protection agency if you don't like it.

But you will still need protection, so its not really voluntary is it. In fact it's not unlike a tax.

Yes, it really is voluntary. And even if you personally feel like you just have to buy protection, you still have a voluntary choice between different providers.

But using a protection service itself is not voluntary, unless the person is a complete idiot or has lots of guns.

Sure it is, it may be that the two choices are both unplesant (or one is very unplesant so you don't want to look at it as 'a choice') and you would rather not have to be in the postion to choose one or the other, but that does not mean you don't have a choice.

It's your choice, clean your room or you can't go to the movies.

I can't believe your making me clean my room! I can't believe you won't let me go to the movies!

Unless there is a gun to your head, then and there in that moment you ALWAYS have a choice.
