Sturdevant published an analysis of the Texas CHL arrest and conviction data. I believe he gave the source data in his report, but it has been a while since I examined that document. It is posted at:

Thank you! I was looking for the URL, but couldn't find it.
Page 33 has the numbers to answer the question that started this discussion:
For 1996-1999, the arrest rate per 100,000 CHL holders for weapons-related offenses was 85. For the total population, it was 70. So, the rate is 21% higher.
Of all the entries in the table, there's only one other category in which the rate is higher, and that's for a non-violent offense labeled "suspicion". But, given that there were only 146 arrests in the total population (for a rate per 100,000 of 0.2) vs. 3 of CHL holders, I don't think it can be considered statistically significant.
