Doug,
With respect, I am compelled to disagree.
Someone (including a law enforcement officer) fires a shot that seriously injures me -- a complete innocent -- resulting in my being paralyzed, or loosing sight, or even being killed. My life -- and my family’s life -- is forever altered and I incur great additional expenses while loosing my ability to earn a reasonable income. I agree there is no sin, but there is liability. After all, the shooter did not have to take that shot. And civil -- probably not criminal -- legal accountability attaches because all of my costs and income loss are a direct result of someone else’s irresponsible action.
This is not only my view; it is also the fundamental precept in all tort law.
