"unfortunately?" I suspect it is "unfortunate" right up until you are related to the person on the receiving end. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect you will find a different term to describe it then.

I have no problem with protecting oneself from personal injury or death but shooting through a closed door, shooting through the back window of a car, shooting at a young person because he is black, or shooting 30 rounds through a sliding door without seeing if anyone is on the other side is not protecting oneself. No, it doesn't happen often but again, if you or someone you care about is on the receiving end then I suspect it will feel like it happens too much.
