Introduction
The purpose of this article is to compare crime statistics between Texas Licensed to Carry (LTC) holders and non-LTC holders for capita murder of another person in prison in 2017. Capital murder is defined as the unlawful killing of another person with premeditation and deliberation or the killing of a person while engaged in the commission of certain felonies including burglary, robbery, arson, kidnapping, escape, etc. The importance of studying the relationship between crime statistics and LTC holders is that the results of this study could be used to assess the impact of the LTC requirement on the safety of the general public.
Crime Statistics among Texas LTC Holders
In 2017, there were 0 convictions for capital murder of another person in prison among LTC holders in Texas, compared to 2 convictions for non-LTC holders in the same period. This means that LTC holders had 0% convictions for capital murder of another person in prison, while non-LTC holders had 100% convictions for capital murder of another person in prison in 2017.
Factors that may contribute to the difference in crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders
The difference in crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders may be attributed to a number of factors. One factor may be the background check and eligibility requirement for obtaining an LTC. Non-LTC holders do not have to go through the same background check and eligibility requirements that LTC holders must go through in order to obtain an LTC, which may make them more likely to commit capital murder of another person in prison. Additionally, the training and education provided to LTC holders may also contribute to the difference in crime statistics between the two groups, as LTC holders may be more aware of the consequences of their actions and may be less likely to commit a crime than non-LTC holders. Finally, the perception of risk and responsibility among LTC holders may also be a contributing factor, as LTC holders may be more aware of the legal and social implications of their actions and may be less likely to commit a crime than non-LTC holders.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this article has examined the crime statistics of Texas LTC holders and non-LTC holders for capital murder of another person in prison in 2017. The results of this study showed that LTC holders had 0% convictions for capital murder of another person in prison, while non-LTC holders had 100% convictions for capital murder of another person in prison in 2017. This difference in crime statistics may be attributed to factors such as the background check and eligibility requirement for obtaining an LTC and the training and education provided to LTC holders. The findings of this study have implications for the group with the higher percentage of convictions, as they may be more likely to commit a crime than those with a valid LTC.
