I heard a policeman say once that the worst thing you can do in a public place is draw a weapon during a crime - when the police arrive all they see are people holding weapons and they don't know by looking who is the criminal. You could easily be shot for holding a weapon. Too many people have been killed in shootings in America due to our glorification of guns.

Unfortunately, you have no idea as to what actual training teaches those who choose to carry a weapon. None of what you said was accurate.
