Some times they can, some times they can't. If they are casing the place and really paying attention then I would think they would spot an OC person. If they are just rushing in to rob, then no. If they are walking in scared and shaky, then I don't think they will notice either.
Like I said, I have read reports where criminals tried to rob places while uniformed police officers were standing right at the register.
As for training, that is an interesting question. Some do go to the range and "practice" shooting their guns. I have worked at indoor ranges and seen this. But, it mainly consists of them showing off for their buddies by shooting fast (not accurately) and shooting sideways "gangsta" style. I always go a chuckle out of seeing their targets after they were done. They might have fired 50 rounds and hit the paper 7 times. It wasn't about accurate and patient fire. It was about shooting as fast as they could and looking cool. That is what makes them a man in their minds.
