I personally like the fact the guy next to me, if he is carrying a concealed weapon, has had SOME formal/classroom training. Being a police officer, one of my concerns is not being shot by the bad guy, but being shot by one of my counterparts in a high stress situation, even with the training we go through. I just don't want someone pulling out a .45 on a guy making a beer run, missing and hitting me buying a pack of gum. I think the concept at least here in Texas is, if you want to carry a firearm, you can, you just have to be sane, and go through some basic common sense training so you aren't more dangerous than the criminals without intending to be.
