(12,072 posts)37. What percentage of legal gun owners does the remaining 73% make up?
The paper neglects to state that because you still come out with legal gun owners, as a group, being extremely safe. In their North Carolina study they neglect to state how many CCW holders there were that the convictions were drawn from. Here is the data for Texas. Notice that the Concealed Handgun License holders have a far lower conviction rate than the general public. You may review the complete data here: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/chl/reports/convrates.htm
Here are the Texas conviction rates. As you can see, CHLers are much safer than the general public.
