You're missing Warren Co and yours.

[reverserboy]

I wonder how many of the 718 homicides were in Philly??

[CCinPA]

You're missing Warren Co and yours.

He probably has them in the total but probably clipped the cut and paste.

Thanks nlcrsn for the stats.

[Longshot]

What would be interesting to see, is how many of those firearm related crimes where committed by people that where LEGALY able to obtain firearms.

we don't...we have 8,729 LTCF holders and 202 sportsmen's permit holders.

i shoulda copied the column headings as well. and, of course, columnar data never ends up spaced correctly when you post it on an text based forum.

to be fair, though, it would be interesting to compare the number of LTCF holders in each county as a percentage of the total population in that county. allegheny county has wayyy more people than most other counties, so you would kinda expect us to have more LTCF holders.
