I know quite a few people who train in self-defense, armed or unarmed, but I don't know anyone who thinks that if they don't end up in a home invasion situation fighting three violent criminals, then their training was wasted.
Agreed. Is there any reason I need to train and practice trying to reliably make 1 MOA shots at 300 to 500 yards? Learning how to estimate and correct for ballistic drop and wind? I don't hunt. But this is a skill I am trying to learn/maintain, even though I will probably never, ever, use it. I wouldn't want to have to use it. It would take a complete breakdown of society and laws, and I'd have to be under seige in a bunkered down position. That's only gonna happen in a post-apocalyptic world, and it's even a remote chance under those circumstances. But still I practice it, and I don't feel my training is wasted one little bit. Plus, it's fun!
