Roy v. State

The indictment in this case contains two counts, the first charging the defendant with carrying a pistol concealed, and the second charging that he “did carry around with him on his person and did have in his manual possession, outside of his own home and place of business, a certain pistol, without first tailing out a license from the ordinary of the county of which he was a resident.” The jury returned a verdict of guilty on the second count only.
