It's nice if you have the time and resources for that. Not everyone is lucky enough to. Ammo is still in short supply and expensive, and time is always at a premium, especially if you have a younger family. Just conservatively figuring, 300 rounds of .40 cal will cost you $120.00 then add in another $50.00 for gas for the 2 or 3 trips to the range. A lot of families don't have that money to practice monthly.
Your suggesting that since they don't they should go without protection? Maybe we should apply that to other things as well. Unless you can go to the driving range and hit 5 buckets of balls and spend 10 hours on the putting green every month in practice, you shouldn't be allowed to play golf. If you can't practice casting 2 hours a day, every day you shouldn't be allowed to fish. Unless you can shoot your bow, or rifle for at least 3 hours a week, every week you shouldn't be allowed to hunt.
If you have the time and resources then yes, by all means practice as much as you can. But don't try and say if you don't have the resources you shouldn't carry.
