Colorado does not have that big of a population. I bet the permits per thousand is similar.

Actually, Colorado lags behind more than a few other states in the number of people with CCWs per 1,000. Part of that is the resut of our having a patchwork of CCW laws until 2002; part is the result of open carry's always having been legal here, (Denver, Boulder, and Telluride excepted,) and part is the result of Colorado's always having been safer, even in Denver, than states along both coasts. Denver, of course, bitterly and hysterically fought CCW for years.
Ironically, President You Didn't Build That and his so-called "administration" of anti-Second Amendment bigots have done more than anyone to encourage people to keep and bear arms.
Florida 20 million.
Pennsylvania 12 million.
Colorado 5 million.
