The only difference between now and before is the second highlighted part.

It's always been "most Texans." I believe the restrictions are the same, no felons, no wife beaters, etc....

The whole point of this is the "without a license" part.

Folks are now on the honor system to ensure that they learn the laws. I suspect there may be folks that skip that part.

Most folks are pretty unlikely to shoot anyone intentionally. The folks that would be a major problem, probably weren't that concerned with the old requirement to have a permit anyway.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I didn't think it was a bad thing for people to have to get some education before.
