The headline is misleading, it is unlicensed _concealed carry_ that is being legalized, from what I can tell. I don't know Texas gun laws but I suspect its already to open carry without a licenses. Also the article mentioned that Texas already has unlicensed carry of rifles. Again, while this is true, it doesn't strike me as uncommon in the US. I line in New Mexico, and yes, we're less restrictive of costal states but we also have unlincesed open carry, and unlincensed rifle carry. Concealed carry in NM does require a permit, but its pretty easy to get.
The article gave me the feeling on non-americans writing about america--they focus on what is unusual to them, without necessarily realizing that some of it is pretty common in the US, with our lax gun laws.
