Because nobody appreciates the fact that someone had a gun to protect himself, or his family, in the first place. Very few here has experienced a home break-in or a situation which requires split-second thinking.
I do and Im somebody. :)

You seem to be making an argument FOR training rather than none or less.
Just Friday, I was home in the afteroon and I got a knock on the door. I opened it and kept the steel security door locked and closed.
It was a hispanic kid <20, well dressed, well spoken. He asked me if I was interested in selling the truck in my drive way. I was a little preoccupied with a different problem I was having at that moment so I was a little slow on the uptake. About half way into answering him, all neurons kicked in and I remembered this is one of the exact excuses they use when casing houses.
I turned around and yelled for my son to get my gun just as he was walking away. He bolted for the guy across the street's house went through his gate and took off running between the houses.
And before you all say...."Move". I live in a very nice area. Predominately Mormon. Other than a gated community, I couldn't live in a much nicer area. I am thinking I am going to have to go gated.
Welcome to the new normal.
