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

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
In Philadelphia and the surrounding counties, the availability of police for any incident is staggering compared to the more rural parts of the Commonwealth. If the one or two state troopers on duty at three in the morning are on the opposite side of the county, one might well wait a while until someone shows up. No police presence = more dependence on one's own guns.
