I wouldn't go as far as saying 'if you're not going to train, avoid weapons'.
I haven't gone to a DE. Should I avoid Porsches?
Formal training IS an asset... but not a requirement.
I have no formal training with any of my weapons... but I don't think that mattered when I came in 3rd out of 57 shooters in a local IDPA match. I did so through making myself familiar with my weapon, how it shoots, how to reload quickly, and all that.
I'd say it like this - if you're not willing to learn how to use a weapon (through formal training or otherwise), THEN you probably should reconsider having one.
