Re: Philadelphia Concealed Carry Stats
After looking through these reports I can say they are a virtual gold mine of information. So far I've imported the data from 2003-2005 into an excel sheet so that I can calculate all sorts of neat percentages.
I will make this sheet available to everyone once I have it all compiled.
Eventually I will move all of this data into our database which will allow us to program all sorts of neat statistics calculations with pretty graphs. This information could in theory be made public.
Here's some interesting stats:
In 2003 Philadelphia County was responsible for 40% of all permit revocations state-wide and had a 9% revocation rate.
In 2004 Philadelphia County was responsible for 36% of all permit revocations state-wide and had a 12% revocation rate.
In 2003 Allegheny County had 11,326 permits and revoked 53 (0.46% revokation rate) for 3.7% of all revocations state-wide.
In 2004 Allegheny County had 10,081 permits and revoked 94 (0.91% revokation rate) for 6.01% of all revocations state-wide.
In 2003 Forest County had 0 handgun sales.
There's probably a lot more interesting numbers in here.
