We now have more members than several standing armies around the world!! It's a good thing, we are not the crazed, trigger happy, demons MDA and others paint us to be. We could really be a force to be reckoned with!!

A little over 6% of the 21yo+ population of Texas. That's awesome. Subtract those that aren't eligible and it gets even better.

That's not really a surprise. It would more interesting to see counties ranked by % licensed per county population.

As a resident (and instructor) of Harrison county, I'm quite pleased to see us in the top 50.

Would really be interesting to know percentage in each county of eligible persons (or even 21yos and up). Might be hard to determine the number of adults that are prohibited.
Roughly 35% of Texas' population is under 21yo.

Using these two links, (first for LTC by zip code, second for population by zip code) my zip code has 10.2% of the adult population with an LTC.
