I found the stats for Texas:
"Justifiable homicide is the killing of a felon by a peace officer in the line of duty or the killing (during the commission of a felony) of a felon by a private citizen. In 2014, there were 103 justifiable homicides"
So according to them Texas makes up the more than 1/3 of their statistic. Sounds like they don't have their data correct.

Re: FBI Releases 2014 Crime Stats
TAM.... Don't those number SEEM kinda low to you?The Annoyed Man wrote:AND.... the Justifiable Homicide by Private Citizen table: https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/c ... 0-2014.xls
And the footnote says "The killing of a felon, during the commission of a felony, by a private citizen." Seems strange. Are they saying a that the deceased would have to have been previously convicted of a felony? Or are they calling he/she a felon because they died during the act of a felony.
Anyways I would have thought those numbers would have increased significantly with the increase of CHL carriers.
