Between the civilians, LEO and armed forces is:

All that training is part of their JOB for the police and soldiers. They get paid for the time it takes, the weapon is issued, and the ammo provided for.

When can a working man / woman / parent / single mom commit 40 hours if they already have previous obligations? It probably won't be during the work week if money is an issue. How many weekends would that take? For EVERYONE?

The equivalent for a civilian : the government, community, or company you work for would allow the time off and pay for the class. Or firearms training would be incorporated into the regular education system and be just as prevalent as driving classes (albeit later in life)
