2018 LTC/Non-LTC Convictions: MANSLAUGHTER

Introduction

The purpose of this article is to compare crime statistics between Texas Licensed to Carry (LTC) and non-LTC holders for manslaughter in 2018. Manslaughter is defined as the unlawful killing of another human being without malice aforethought and is typically prosecuted as a lesser degree of homicide. It is important to evaluate the relationship between LTC holders and criminal statistics to determine if there is an increased likelihood of criminal activity among LTC holders.

Crime Statistics Among Texas LTC Holders

In 2018, there were three convictions for manslaughter among Texas LTC holders and 97 convictions for manslaughter among non-LTC holders. This points to a 3% rate of criminal activity for LTC holders compared to a 97% rate of criminal activity for non-LTC holders.

Factors That May Contribute To The Difference In Crime Statistics Between Texas LTC and Non-LTC Holders

The difference in criminal activity between LTC holders and non-LTC holders may be attributed to background checks and eligibility requirements for obtaining an LTC, the training and education for LTC holders, and the perception of risk and responsibility among LTC holders. Background checks and eligibility requirements are necessary for getting an LTC and those who obtain an LTC may view themselves as more responsible and be less likely to commit a crime than those without one. In addition, the training and education required for LTC holders may provide them with the knowledge and skills to properly use a firearm and adhere to safety regulations.

Conclusion

This article provides an analysis of the crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders in 2018. The findings indicate that LTC holders are less likely to commit a crime than non-LTC holders, with a 3% rate of criminal activity for the former compared to 97% for the latter. The difference in criminal activity may be attributed to background checks and eligibility requirements for obtaining an LTC, training and education for LTC holders, and the perception of risk and responsibility among LTC holders. This information is significant for LTC holders, as it suggests that they are in fact more likely to be law abiding citizens than those without an LTC.
