3. Military people, as long as they are inside the borders of the country.
So they're not supposed to train. In case of a conflict they're given a weapon for the first time in years and asked to go and shoot someone with it.
If that's the only thing you can think of, please don't own a gun yourself.
An addition would be police, based on two things:
1. Only if the local people allowed their police to have guns;
It would be literally suicide to work as a police officer. You wouldn't have a gun but everybody else would, but it's you that works in law enforcement. How are you going to enforce anything facing an armed criminal while being unarmed yourself? Also, imagine the police officer being able to carry a gun at home but not at work.
That's the point. You simply dropped the part where I said:

The only exception would be the county sheriff and his(her) deputies. They could own all the guns they wanted.
The general public and the populace should be
required to own guns, as long as they didn't fall into one of the above classifications of people who couldn't own or touch guns.
What are military people? What are police? They are people. Sure, they are trained. But anybody can be trained.
By the time the police get there, the crooks are long gone... by far, most of the time. If the people had guns, the crooks would be taken care of on the spot. Why can't an average citizen use plausible deniability, "I feared for my life," like the cops do?
The Sheriff is in the Constitution; the police are not. Let's do it the way it is supposed to be done:
1. No standing army in times of peace;
2. The militia (citizenry) as military, having the guns;
3. Get rid of the expense of police who mostly just antagonize the citizenry.
