In our terms I think you already answered the first two. Someone can be "armed" with any gun (or knife for that matter) but if they do not know how to use it there is really little point.
Well armed, to me, means someone carrying or holding a weapon and the possess the knowledge to use that weapon effectively.
Heavily armed, again to me, means someone that arms themselves more than perhaps they need. I, and I'm sure several here, would fall into that catagory. (I carry a six inch Smith model 29 as a primary and a custom snubby model 29 as a back up. Depending on where I'm going I may also drop my ADC .44 mag derringer in my pocket in addition to the above. And, of course, I always carry spare ammo.)
But if you are referring to the medias definition all bets are off. They may report someone with an auto carrying ten rounds as heavily armed. To them the terms are used to create hysteria among the viewer/reader to increase ratings and demonize guns. But you have to bear in mind these are the same people that bring us the "assault weapon" and the automic revolver. (No, we are not talking the Metba(sp?))
