b)I'm also working under the assumption that if you're carrying a gun, you know how to shoot it. Aiming is not that difficult.

a) Not necessarily. Particularly that most people that carry concealed carry small caliber pistols. The North Hollywood shootout is a good example of that. Police Handguns weren't doing shit to the two robbers. Shootout lasted for 44 minutes.

b) Hitting moving targets in a low-light area, especially with a pistol is not as easy most people think. If you've ever trained with a pistol, you'll realize at how clueless most people are when talking about deadly force situations say things like, "why didn't he just shoot him in the legs" or "why didn't they they shoot the weapon out of his hand." People are far too influenced by media and thinking shit is super easy.

Mexico would be a great argument against that statement... although they'll tell you it's the US' fault.
