(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.)

I was advised You will need to contact the State of Florida for the Information you are requesting, the State of Florida handles this, it is not done by the individual counties.
The Florida Dept of Agriculture and Consumer Services Division of Licensing issues the firearm permits and licenses and I think they handle all the other, but if not, then they should be able to tell you who you would need to contact for everything else. It might be the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement. But, I would say start with the Florida Dept of Agriculture. The phone number to contact them is 850-245-5691.
The Florida Dept of Law Enforcement is who you may need to contact though, for the statistics and any other data you are requesting regarding the – firearm-related homicides and firearm-related assaults for each county in Florida. Some counties in Florida may have a program set up on their computer to be able to pull the stats for their particular county, but, we do not have that capability at this time.
The phone number to contact the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement is 850-410-7000.
If you have any questions you can call us at 850-482-9624.
Hope this helps you,
