Introduction
The purpose of this article is to compare the crime statistics between Texas License To Carry (LTC) and non-LTC holders for sexual assault proh/purport spouse for 2019. Sexual assault proh/purport spouse is defined as the act of undesired sexual touching or contact between two or more persons of the same gender, regardless of marital status. The importance of studying the relationship between LTC holders and crime statistics lies in the fact that these statistics can provide insight into the overall safety of citizens and help inform policymakers about the need for gun control measures.
Crime statistics among Texas LTC holders
In 2019, there was only one reported conviction of sexual assault proh/purport spouse among Texas LTC holders. This is compared to five reported convictions among non-LTC holders. This means that LTC holders were convicted of sexual assault proh/purport spouse in only 0% of the cases, while non-LTC holders were convicted in 100% of the cases.
Factors that may contribute to the difference in crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders
Several factors may contribute to the difference in crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders. The first is the background checks and eligibility requirements for obtaining an LTC, which are more stringent than those for non-LTC holders. Additionally, LTC holders must undergo specialized training and education to ensure that they are able to properly handle firearms. Finally, LTC holders may have a higher sense of risk and responsibility when handling firearms, which could make them less likely to commit crimes of any kind.
Conclusion
This article has examined the crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders for sexual assault proh/purport spouse in 2019. It was found that LTC holders were convicted in 0% of cases, while non-LTC holders were convicted in 100% of cases. It is hypothesized that the more stringent background checks and eligibility requirements for obtaining an LTC, combined with specialized training and education, as well as a heightened sense of risk and responsibility, could contribute to the difference in crime statistics. The findings of this article have implications for policymakers looking to implement gun control measures, as well as for LTC holders and non-LTC holders alike.
