And range training helps, but we all know fig 11 targets on a range do not shoot back
I gotta tell ya, I've yet to see any examples of the expert accuracy of experienced gang bangers.

As capable as an SOF vet? Probably not. But it is not necesarry to be very accurate in most self-defense ranges and scenarios. In fact, it is not necesarry to fire in a lot of them, most people minues the fearless gang banger will usually be compelled to cut their losses when faced with a firearm.

Most times, carrying concealed requires a class before getting your permit, and while minimal, it does teach some useful skills, as well as laws and situation where you know how you can react to different kinds of threats. What I find from circumstancial experience however, is that when people get their concealed permit, they start going to the range and to courses and various things more often.
