Do criminals know any of that?I have heard of and met a lot of new CHLers who
* don't know where is off limits
* don't understand the 30.06 law
* don't know churches are no longer off limits unless there's 30.06 notice
* don't know the Chapter 9 rules for deadly force
* don't even know the Chapter 9 rules for force
* don't know there's a difference between MPA and the castle doctrine
* are confused about "printing"
* are confused about CHL and alcohol or prescription drugs
* aren't familiar with their carry gun
* know little or nothing about nonviolent dispute resolution
Do criminals care about any of the laws before they "one up" a law abiding citizen by bringing a "bigger stick" to impose their will?
No. Of course not.
While I respect your opinion, and understand your intent, I don't agree with it, simply because the lawful restriction of arms does not impact the criminal element, and only serves to hinder the law abiding.
There are many states that do not mandate "training" for their citizens prior to allowing them access to the tools they may need to defend themselves, and others that require NO "license".
I am of the opinion that the overwhelming majority of Texans are capable of doing the right thing without the need of licenses or mandated "training".
