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 could be attributed to several factors. First, LTC applicants must pass background checks and meet eligibility requirements. These checks may reduce the likelihood of criminals and mentally unstable individuals obtaining LTCs. Second, LTC holders must go through training and education courses. These courses emphasize the responsibilities and risks associated with gun ownership, thus increasing awareness and compliance with laws. Finally, the perception of risk and responsibility may be higher among LTC holders, which would lead to more conscientious behavior among this group.

To sum up, the data indicates that LTC holders are far less likely to be convicted of BURGLARY OF BUILDING than non-LTC holders. This may be due to background checks and eligibility requirements, training and education, and increased awareness of the risk and responsibility associated with gun ownership. These findings suggest that LTC holders are more likely to be law-abiding citizens than non-LTC holders.
