Factors that May Contribute to the Difference in Crime Statistics between Texas LTC and Non-LTC Holders

This may indicate that people who are licensed to carry tend to be more responsible and law-abiding than those who are not licensed to carry.
In addition, there are also mandatory training and education requirements for all LTC holders. These training and education requirements may help foster the perception of risk and responsibility among LTC holders, and thus discourage them from engaging in criminal activity.
