Are you equating jumping in the water without a life jacket to save drowning people with that of presenting your concealed weapon and shooting an armed assailant that may take your life?

I think most would consider the level of risk significantly different. I don't want to minimize that there is some chance of drowning in the first scenerio; however, I see them as vastly different scenerios.
