District of Columbia Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court
FICKLING, Associate Judge:
Appellant was convicted after a jury trial of carrying a pistol without a license in violation of D.C.Code 1967, § 22-3204. He urges this court to reverse the conviction on two grounds: (1) the trial judge abused his discretion in permitting the Government to impeach appellant’s credibility by introducing evidence of a prior conviction for petit larceny; (2) the trial judge erred in not ruling as a matter of law that appellant was within the exception of the statute under which he was charged. We find that neither of these points merits reversal and therefore affirm.
