An updated comparison of TX CHL Holders vs the 21+ yoa public. [View all]

Many moons ago I noticed that Texas was publishing statistics about how many CHL holders there are in the state, and how many times those licensees are convicted of crimes. With help from the state's own demographics department, I compared them to the rest of the state that is 21 years or older.





Sources:
1 - Conviction Data: http://www.dps.texas.gov/rsd/chl/reports/convrates.htm
2 - Number of Licensees: http://www.dps.texas.gov/rsd/chl/reports/demographics.htm
3 - Population Data: http://txsdc.utsa.edu/

This compares apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Of the population of CHL holders, chl holders are convicted of crimes at what rate per 100,000? Of the population over 21, minus the number of CHL holders, how often is this group convicted of a crime per 100,000?

And just for shits and giggles, how do these rates compare to each other? Well, it seems that the rates have never been so far apart.

Fancy that.
