The California AG has a report of the number of CCW licenses issued by county, through 2007.

Pull in the 2010 Census population estimates for California Counties.

http://www.census.gov/popest/eval-estimates/eval-est2010.html

The percent of residents with a CCW license by county vary between 0.0007% and 3.3%

Seems obvious there is a tremendous amount of disparity from one county to the next.
