Agree with Tonic, more untrained armed people seems like a bad idea...
You realize this means someone like me, who has zero practical experience with firearms can now *legally* buy, load, and carry concealed without knowing the first thing about them, their operation, safe storage, my responsibilities, etc.
Upsides: I'm an engineer, mentally stable, emotionally developed, understand physics, mechanics, and have a strong grasp of actions and consequences.
Even with all those upsides, I still think I should be required to pass a background check to buy, and be required to be at least minimally trained before I should be allowed to carry. How many people don't have those upsides?
