## Opinion text

BARDGETT, Judge
(concurring).
I concur in the opinion of Holman, P. J. However, I desire to state that, in my opinion, the testimony relating to the reason why the appellant had the gun was properly admitted because this evidence could be considered as a mitigating factor in connection with fixing the punishment.
