Error in DPS statistics?

[DRO]

Can someone explain how only 32% of people who were convicted of "unlawful carry of handgun by license holder" had licenses?

[oohrah]

is there some kind of license besides a CHL? scratching my head, too.

Plea bargains would be my bet.

??? How? What could you plea from TO that?

Maybe only 10 of those had a Texas CHL, the other 21 were out of state?

Just a wild guess.

Initially I thought that didn't work either, but the more I think about it you could be right on.

What is Unlawful carrying of weapon, 12 convictions by CHler. Were they convicted by carrying an RPG?

Any decent knife in San Antonio?

Again, just guessing.

An RPG is not covered under UCW, penal code 46.02.

It could be a CHL holder carrying without his license in his possession or of carrying an illegal knife or club, or even a handgun of the wrong category.

City ordinances are not violations of UCW, which is state law.

30.06 and 51% signs...?

It could be a couple things. It could be UCW of a club or illegal knife. It could be leaving the card at home because the 46.15 exception for CHL requires us to carry our license. It could be mischarging, overcharging or other DA games. That doesn't just happen in Floriduh.

30.06 and 51% signs...?

No, those are listed in different categories.

Disorderly Conduct.

Or it could be ... just a mistake.

The best explanation could be CHLs issued out of state, but then that kind of ruins the rest of the statistics if out of state CHL holders are not being counted...
But then again I could accept it as attorneys just not knowing what they're doing at all.
