People do use their quirks in public and people do jaywalk. Sometimes, especially in the spin-off, enforcers decide to not do anything about it. Which is funny the time a strong, violent guy is taking the law into his own hands, but is let off the hook because being strong and violent wasn't technically his quirk.
There are workplace-permits.
The series doesn't make any legal documents explicit, but restrictions would have to spell out how to handle "more limbs" or "pretty good eyesight".
People like Eri also need space to practice unless the policy is to shoot them into the sun.
Making it so that the only way to use hero-grade quirks is to work for the state does create a worrying concentration of martial strength—and a standardization of loyalty to the body of the state—that would be easily exploited by a fascist-leaning government coming to power
that the initial emergance of quirks led to a partial collapse of society that the world is only now recovering from. It’s possible that the idea of quirk liberation is tied heavily to that.
Considering the near limitless variety of Quirks, you'd probably never have legislation that makes everyone happy, but at the same time having no restrictions when there are people who can throw fireballs would be somewhat reckless.
It's similar to the Mutant Registration stuff, but people with Quirks are an overwhelming majority instead of a persecuted minority so... Hmm.
Guess I'll have to see where this goes.
Got a funny feeling that the off-brand Joker who kills a coworker over a difference of opinion might not have society's best interests at heart though.

My thoughts about him are in reverse to yours:
the fact that he killed his employee, even though he admits to himself he doesn't really want to do this, confirms to me that he is a true beliver of Destro philosophy. If he seeked something ordinary like more power, he would just continue to use this guy instead of getting angry about their difference of thoughts.
One aspect of the quirk-majority and the relative recentness of legislation is that the mutants are the government and the electorate.
Related, I'm reminded of Deku's father being able to "breathe fire, a little" and his mother having psychokinesis on the scale of pulling the weight of a salt shaker to her hand from five feet away. 80% of the population have Quirks, but I'd wager that a significantly lower portion have Quirks that make them feel constricted by the "no public expression of a Quirk without license" restriction. The electorate is fine with not using their Quirks because most of them wouldn't do so anyway.

I hope I'd get a good quirk
not necessarily a super quirk, but like

Oh sure, he believes. It's just that this particular brand of seeking increased freedoms seems to be, as it sadly often is, 'freedom for ME to do as I please, YOU can get fucked.'
I wonder how other countries in the MHA world deal with Quirks, or if any country never recovered from the emergence of Quirks.
I remember in the Two Heroes movie they mentioned Japan is doing a lot better than most places because they had All Might.
Depending on how canon you see the movie America seems ok too.
I imagine the real trouble would be in countries were already struggling with wars, famine and so on. Imagine the oppressive regimes now, and then add superpowers for example.
Man, imagine how much stricter places like casinos have to be when people have telekinesis or x-ray vision or such. Anti-quirk powers would probably be in very high demand in that kind of environment.
The game for this arc is to replace every instance of "abilities" or whatever your translation of choice is (spoiler: it's meta abilities because that's the official translation) with "guns."
Making it so that the only way to use hero-grade quirks is to work for the state does create a worrying concentration of martial strength—and a standardization of loyalty to the body of the state—that would be easily exploited by a fascist-leaning government coming to power
I think there's some degree of separation. While you'll have pro heroes assisting the police or forming joint operations like in Kamino Ward, Pro Heroes are still independent/privatized operations, but subject to licensing by the state
How do people practice for the entrance exam if they cant use their quirks
I imagine there are gym classes in school that encourage students to use their quirks in controlled and monitored environments.
Maybe some form of after school programs for those who have quirks that may make them candidates for UA or other, lesser, hero academies.
Clearly everyone should practice for the exams via the Yagi-Midoriya method: find a beach that everyone has turned into a forsaken landfill of the damned and clean that beach!

didn't Crunchyroll translate it as "quirk"
although I guess they aren't the ones translating MHA going forward

They aren't just licensed by the state, they are also paid by the state according to their reported performance; there's a mountain of paperwork they do that we just never see, but they're essentially part of a parallel defense force
The focus throughout the series on the supremacy of the law and the necessity of working within the boundaries sanctioned by government, to the point that doing what is right is wrong if it's illegal, reads very much like the kind of organizational justification that could lead to heroes doing horrific, oppressive shit if they were being sanctioned by the wrong government.
United States of Smash is the new gold standard for something objectively corny but its sincerity makes it awesome. And while I've been watching the Dub, the Japanese version of that scene is better.

Contrary to popular belief he is not anime Tintin. Instead he flies around inside human bodies in spacepods deploying antibodies against bacteria. You can't unsee it.
Dumb fan theory
Really hope the idea that Deku is related to All for One or "had a quirk all along" is decisively wrong. I think Naruto had that problem of revealing he turned out to have all these great gifts through his descent and reincarnation, and Deku bringing anything to the table besides his heroic spirit kind of undermines him in a similar way.

Flat out illegal in Japan at least.

It seems elemental quirks are common. I would not mind having heat powers or something to that effect

My quirk would be the ability to roll well while playing table top games. I would idolize Tycho as my own personal All Might.

Yes thats real DC canon now
Thought: A quirk that lets you shoot guns.
Not: To operate a firearm
Yes: You launch guns in some fashion. You just generate guns and propel them at decent speeds.

Can’t use them in public.
You can use them on private property and stuff though.
