Nah you still have to get a permit, which requires background checks and training courses, at least from what I could tell by reading. So yea some might be armed, but it's not open season for anyone who wants to. There's still restrictions.
The main issue is that previously, law enforcement required you to show good cause in order to get a CCW. Many jurisdictions were blanketly denying pretty much all requests and there was no specific litmus test for what constitutes "good cause". That was up to the discretion of the police. What ended up happening in many locales is only people who were well connected were getting them.
In any case Obs, I don't think the people you need to fear are people that legally purchased a gun, took training courses and applied for a CCW through law enforcement. Those people know that homicide outside self defense = life in jail.
