Does anyone know of a survey done on armed criminals of how many had a LTCF I'd be interested in Stats from across the state. But mostly in Phila and Pitts. Maybe we can do one and send it to Harrisburg

I would venture to say there are no stats or data available as its not something on the Uniform Crime Report. It would take alot of research reading news articles and inquiring from that point. Take for example the guy here who was arrested for OCing. woudl he qualify as an arrested LTCF stat?
or are you talking only convictions?

Convictions would be nice. I would think the stats could come from the prisons. But it would be nice to pass the stats along to the crew in Harrisburg and ask how come they keep coming after law abiding citizens and see what their answer is

I foresee some difficulties with that, even if you could get the info, it would be hard to find out who had one at the time of the alleged crime...being that it could often be expired by the time of the conviction.
