Me as well Zeke. :txflag:
I'm actually no surprised about that one. Tarrant County is a pretty conservative area overall. The one that surprises me is that Harris County is 17.27% of the total. Given the stuff you hear about Houston PD and past Houston Mayor viz-a-viz CHL, one wonders why there is such a large spike in numbers in that one county.

Maybe some of you Harris County folks could weigh in with a theory?
My theory is that you can't predict a person's or group's actions based solely upon an arbitrary label assigned to that person or group.

  • 24,782,302 -- Texas population estimate, 2009
    27.6% -- Persons under 18 years old, percent, 2008
    (source: US Census Bureau)
That means about 17,942,386 over 18. 17,942,386 adults divided by 404,795 CHL holders means...

About 1 in 44 adult Texans has a CHL. :txflag:
That's a pretty scary thought ... if you're a BG! :mrgreen:
