I believe Texas has compiled such. Don't have time to look now but I seem to recall a rate of black issuance about half the black population rate. Which sounds bad until you compare it to what happens in California, where you can track how permits are basically non-existent in the areas of the state where blacks live (on a county detail basis).

I have a newspaper article from...Fresno County CA I think, where the paper tracked Latino CCW issuance and found a 2% Latino issuance rate in a 45% Hispanic county.

Then there's Sacramento...relatively high rate of issuance to Greeks. Former sheriff was name of "Blanas", you guessed it, Greek...
