Look at it through the lens of cost vs benefit.

I firmly believe that if you were to go through the worst neighborhoods in South Chicago, going door to door handing issuing a Glock 19 with two magazines, a Crossbreed Supertuck and a 50 round box of JHPs to every adult that wanted one and could pass a free NICS check that within a couple months the violent crime rate there would be cut by more than half without any accidental deaths.

People are capable of being safe with guns without graduating from Thunder Ranch or Guncite and the world would be a better place if government bureaucrats didn't demand that everyone get their stamp of approval on every little thing they do.

Demanding top level training for everyone means that you will price concealed carry out of the hands of most of the poor, the people who arguably need it more than us lily white, upper middle class suburbanites who will likely NEVER need to use our excellent training. If that isn't elitism, I don't know what is.
