Crime Statistics among Texas LTC Holders
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, in 2017 there were 0 convictions of AGG SEXUAL ASSLT among Texas LTC holders, compared to 110 convictions among non-LTC holders. This suggests that Texas LTC holders are more likely to be law-abiding citizens than non-LTC.
Factors that may Contribute to the Difference in Crime Statistics between Texas LTC and Non-LTC Holders
Background checks and eligibility requirements for obtaining an LTC may play a role in the difference in crime statistics between the two groups. LTC holders must meet certain criteria before they can legally carry a firearm, which may indicate that these individuals are more responsible and engage in less criminal activity. Additionally, LTC holders are required to attend firearm training and education classes, which may further discourage them from committing a crime.
Finally, LTC holders may have a perception of greater risk and responsibility when it comes to carrying a firearm, which may lead them to avoid any type of criminal activity. This is in contrast to those without an LTC, who may not have the same fear of legal consequences with regards to carrying a firearm.

Factors such as background checks and eligibility requirements for obtaining an LTC, required training and education classes, and a perception of risk and responsibility among LTC holders likely contribute to the difference in crime statistics. These findings have important implications for the group with the higher percentage of criminal activity.
