I agree that Canadians should be able to defend themselves, and I defend myself by ensuring I am not in a situation where I would need a handgun. They would never be permitted in my home, ever.

I answered that and then added why it should.

I think that most people who carry any sort of concealed weapon are not trained to use it properly (gun, knife, whatever), so it's sort of pointless to do so in the first place. Maybe I am wrong.

To legally acquire a handgun you have to take a Non Restricted and Restricted Posession and Acquisition License test. Once that is finished you would have to purchase a weapon which would be registered with the government and then finally hypothetically you would get a concealed weapons permit which is another course.
So if you could carry legally and did so, you'd be trained to do so.
