So people shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves because sometimes there are accidents? Should people be allowed to drive? After all, some people drive drunk. Should people even be allowed to go outside at all? After all, people get hit by meteors and lightning bolts.

In my example, your drunk driver would be the shooter, not my the shooting victim.

I'm very familiar with risk evaluation. This whole thread was because I was pointing out a big gap in your logic.

> In a self defense situation who gets shot is up to the attackers.

"Accidents happen" disproves this assertion.
