That argument doesn't hold water unless you prepare for other unlikely dangers, too. Do you have a lightning rod? Do you wear a gas mask in public? Do you always wear gloves? Do you not eat red meat or spinach?
The fact that you only choose to be paranoid when it comes to guns overrides your excuse that you don't want to be a statistic. Either you believe in statistics or you don't. Picking and choosing makes no sense whatsoever.
