(Please note that this point is not a request for the identities of individual permit or license holders, but, rather, is a request for governmental policies and parameters regarding the process and regulations by which one may obtain either a permit or a license. If separate strictures exist for each, provision of both would be greatly appreciated.)

Attached is the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office general order on Weapons the deputies are authorized to carry once successfully completing the Florida Basic Recruit Training Program. However, the Sheriff’s Office does NOT issue firearm permits or licenses.

After a diligent search with the other information that your office provided, Records was unable to locate any records responsive to your public records request.
