Don't be ignorant. Do you really think that it's the law abiding citizen who has a GFL for personal protection that you should be worried about, or a criminal who posesses a firearm illegally?
While I commend the background checks, I still feel that anyone want to carry needs to have a formal firearm training class. Also, background checks don't account for the everyday idiot. I don't like the notion of a law abiding citizen playing wild wild west in public with no experience. The training should be mandatory, and part of the licensing process.
