There are lots of things that could skew this data. What suicide rate seems to be measuring is access to guns.

Lots of people in the police or other security forces have access to guns. Often people who have done military service have an issued gun at home (eg Switzerland I think). Military service generally overlaps with a time in life when males are more vulnerable to suicide.

For sure, owning a gun is a long way from carrying a gun around while committing crimes.

In most of the world, if you want to do a robbery, carrying a gun is not a sane option. You are more likely to end up in jail or dead or both.
