As a person who trained to handle a firearm in the army, keep them the fuck away. They have no fucking place in a school.
As a person whose shot with people trained by the Army...stay the fuck away from me at the Gun Range. Most of you don't belong in a lane unless you are under the direct supervision of an RSO.
The simple fact is that many CCW holders handle firearms better than most Cops or Soldiers.
As a person who knows anecdotal evidence can't be reliably extrapolated from (and someone who watched a person swing their loaded, jammed weapon at everyone else on the range looking for the instructor for help at a CCW class and still pass) I'd like to know if you based that "fact" on anything concrete.
"Fact" is a figure of speech here I'm guessing. I shared my own anecdote above. And that's all it is, a story.
Anecdotal, I know, but the only person I've ever had to keep on eye on at camp was my ex-Marine friend. And he was a firearms instructor when he served.
He came close to flagging us a time or two, and one night popped one off downrange without letting everyone know. And that's a rule at my camp. Everyone must be in sight, and you must make eye contact with them and be certain they're wearing ear pro.
Maybe those guys get a little more casual? And for that matter, women are the best to train. They pay attention and follow rules. Guys tend to cowboy up, act like they know it all.
