Why not? Plenty of folks from all walks of life down there get their CCW.

  So given the opportunity, Texan bystanders with guns would shoot unarmed shoplifters?

    Nah, a big section of the class you take to get your LTC (we don't have a CCW) covers just how screwed you would be if you did so. ...but...theres dumb people everywhere, so when you decide to shop lift in Texas the risk profile is certainly different than it is in CA.

      "There's dumb people everywhere, so when you shoplift in Texas" reads a lot like like "Texan bystanders would shoot shoplifters."

    Why on earth would you jump straight to that conclusion? Even if the firearm was drawn, which is a huge if assuming the carrier was attacked, almost all defensive gun uses end before a shot is fired. Someone carrying a firearm should be more willing to nonviolently confront a thief than someone that's unarmed. https://reason.com/2018/04/20/cdc-provides-more-evidence-that-plenty-o/ https://reason.com/2018/04/20/cdc-provides-more-evidence-tha...
