Russell v. State

1. On the trial of one charged with a violation of the act of 1910 as to carrying a pistol without a license (Acts 1910, p. 134), the State makes out a prima facie case of guilt when it proves that the accused carried a pistol on his person, or had manual possession of a pistol,- not at his home or place of business. The burden is on the accused to show that he had a license as required by the act, or to show that he was within a class- to which the act does not apply. Blocker v. State, ante, 81 (76 S. E. 784).

2. No error of law appears, and the verdict is supported by the evidence.
