    I have already acknowledged that training confers an important advantage, in both the comment you are replying to, and in another clarifying comment below. The claim that my initial comment is disagreeing with is the notion that having a gun without thorough training is "useless", which I believe to be false.

    You're right to assume I'm not used to firing a gun under stress, or at least none comparable to being in a gunfight, but my fundamental point -- that being armed is always better than being unarmed -- is true. Again, I am not attempting to discourage people from training themselves to proficiently use their weapon, nor have I at any point in this thread or elsewhere, I am saying they should not feel like they shouldn't arm themselves if they can't engage in extensive and frequent training.
