Wow, these are some pretty interesting statistics; thanks for posting this tl_3237. It's good to know what percentage of the eligible population is licensed to carry in your county.

What would be nice would be billboards, both entering and leaving the Commonwealth at the various state borders, showing something like the following:
PENNSYLVANIANS LICENSED TO CARRY - 1,272,408
NEW JERSEYITES LICENSED TO CARRY - 1,600
WHO IS SAFER FROM CRIMINALS?

Re: 2016 LTCFs by County and Firearm Transfer Metrics
Interesting (sad, but interesting) to note that 5 of the 6 lowest percentage counties are the 5-county Philadelphia area, and the 6th (Lehigh) is just outside it.
One wonders how much of this is due to personal politics (people who don't want and/or can't get one) and how much is due to the Sheriffs/GPU...

Re: 2016 LTCFs by County and Firearm Transfer Metrics
I've never expierenced any problems with the Delaware County Sheriff's office. Maybe not as quick as some counties but no attitude that would discourage LTCF applicants.
Those counties being more urban and liberal, only have bad exposure to guns and the people didn't grow up around guns used for hunting and the dispatching of predators. I would think more inner city people would want guns for protection. Maybe they have them in their homes, just not the LTCF.

I see handgun sales are up, but who is buying? By county and/or M/F
