They don't have the training.

That is counter-factual - Florida requires a training class which Zimmerman took before he could get a concealed carry permit.

The whole point of a neighborhood watch is to watch and report to the police.

Which is exactly what he was doing until he was violently assaulted and feared for his life.
Being armed makes it more likely that the will get into situations where someone is going to die.

That is not true - concealed guns do not cause assaults by criminals - but they can end them with a positive outcome for the victim. You seem to believe he should have just taken the beating for some strange reason.
I know of no neighborhood watch that allows their watchmen to be armed.

This community was not a chartered neighborhood watch group - so those rules (if real) don't apply.
