In the interview, Dwyer asks Cheryl Apple, a small business owner and recent first-time gun owner, to justify why she felt the need to apply for an unrestricted license to carry her 9 mm pistol. Her response to Dwyer is perfect.

“Do we really want a whole bunch of Cheryls running around with pistols in the grocery store?” Dwyer asked.

“Yeah, we probably do because Cheryl is trained,” Apple replied indignantly. “I feel proficient with my weapon, I feel secure with my weapon, and I feel confident with my weapon. I don’t think the Cheryls are the one[s] out there that are hurting people and committing the crimes and being unsafe with their guns.”

We do want Cheryls running around with guns. Even if Cheryl shoots infrequently and isn't a great shot, putting hollowpoints into center of mass at <20' is something anyone should be able to do even with an unfamiliar handgun. That's enough to deter crime, and it's not as if people forget basic gun safety after having it drummed into them.
