Nice. Thanks!baldeagle wrote:Without looking at the numbers (yet again), I'm going to speculate that they won't change. The numbers are convictions were x number of people. I'm pretty sure that means convictions per 100,000 of general population vs convictions per 100,000 of the CHL holder population.Purplehood wrote:Just to be a fly-in-the-ointment, what figure do you get if you divide the total number of CHL convictions by the total number of CHL holders?
Edit: Yup, I was right. Here's the titles of the columns: Total Convictions in TX Conviction Rate Per 100,000 Inhabitants Convictions of CHL Holders Conviction Rate Per 100,000 CHL Holders
So the numbers show that CHL holders as a group compared separately from the general population have a much lower conviction rate than the general population as a group.
For example, for 2011 there were a total of 120 convictions of CHL holders in a population of 518,625 or 122/5.185625 = 23.15 convictions per 100,000. The general population rate is 63,679/175.68188 = 362.47 convictions per 100,000. So 362.47/23.15 = 15.66, meaning the general population is 15.66 times more likely to be convicted of a crime than the CHL population.

Re: Texas CHL stats that prove CHL Holders are menaces.
Just to be a fly-in-the-ointment, what figure do you get if you divide the total number of CHL convictions by the total number of CHL holders?TREKFAN wrote:Just kidding, about the menacing part that is.
I went ahead and went onto the Texas DPS website and looked up, added, and divided the total amount of convictions committed by general public versus CHL holders. This went back as far as 1996, and ranges to 2011. DPS waits two years to release stats.
Total amount of convictions (population size) from 1996-2011 = 852,270
Total amount of convictions from CHL holders from 1996-2011 = 1,972. !!!!!!
When dividing CHL by general, 1,972/852,270, we see that since 1996, CHL holders accounted for only .0023% !!!!!!!
Now tell me how there will be blood in every classroom if I'm legally protected from carrying on campus. I mean, we are all crazy, redneck, bible thumpers who don't know pink slime meat from a t-bone but its just my silly observation. I'm darn proud to be a Texas CHL holder with these stats, you know why? BECAUSE THE GUN-GRABBERS CAN'T REFUTE STATISTICAL, UNALTERED DATA!!
Thank you for your time. I wish our leaders were as wise as some on this forum.
Edit. ** I changed the word "crime" to "convictions" since that's what is listed on the stats per DPS.
