I kind of equate it to driving a boat, you don't need a license in SC to drive a boat, and as such less than brilliant people go out and buy nice shinny new floating toys and think hey I can drive a car, how different can it be, and the end result is many of them get themselves into trouble in short order.
If it were up to me I'd simply make it easier/cheaper to obtain a permit, lower the fees associated with the actual permit but I'd maintain the class requirement (military and LE exempt of course).
Just my .02.
