This is not about a background check, this is about satisfying the requirements for the permit to carry the weapon.

They may already own a handgun, there is no permit required for that. If the statement about the 7,000 denied permits is true then they were told they while they own the gun they are not allowed to carry the gun in public. So they own the gun and they can transport it to and from a range but they cannot carry it to the square for some reason... yet. Come July 1 that permit problem, whatever it was, goes away and they are free to bring their gun to the squares (or most other places).

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
