319 S.W.2d 106 (1958)
Clifford Nathaniel BOYETT, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Texas, Appellee.
No. 30128.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
November 19, 1958.
*107 Bailey & Blum, by J. S. Bailey, Jr., Houston, for appellant.
Dan Walton, Dist. Atty., Thomas D. White, Asst. Dist. Atty., Houston, and Leon B. Douglas, State's Atty., Austin, for the State.
DAVIDSON, Judge.
This is a conviction for unlawfully carrying a pistol; the punishment, a fine of $200.
The appellant and state's counsel were unable to agree upon a statement of the facts in this case.
The trial court has filed a statement of the facts, prepared by him.
Appellant insists that the statement of facts presented by him should be considered and that of the trial court rejected.
The sole contention before this court is that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction.
We have concluded that no necessity exists to determine which one of the statements of facts is entitled to be considered over the other, because the statement of facts prepared by appellantwhich he insists is correctwould not require a reversal of the conviction.
That appellant was carrying a pistol at night on his way home from his place of business is not seriously disputed.
Appellant insists that the carrying of the pistol was authorized, especially in view of the fact that he had on his person the day's receipts from his business.
There is authority to the effect that ordinarily one is authorized to carry a pistol from his place of business to his home when he has on his person a considerable sum of money and when not deviating from the nearest or most practical route and stopping only for a moment's conversation, though he shoots at one assaulting him. Bowles v. State, 66 Tex.Cr.R. 550, 147 S.W. 869. See, also, Smith v. State, 149 Tex.Cr.R. 7, 190 S.W.2d 830, and Davis v. State, 135 Tex. Cr.R. 659, 122 S.W.2d 635.
Here, according to appellant's own contention, there was an issue clearly drawn, under the facts, as to whether his admitted deviation was from either the nearest or most practical route and his stoppage, in route, was more than momentary.
It was for the trial court before whom this case was tried to determine that issue. He did determine it against the appellant.
We can not say that his determination thereof was not warranted under appellant's own contention and admission.
The judgment is affirmed.
