Janice,

The requestor is specifically looking for firearm related homicide cases and aggravated assaults using a firearm for 2015. I have already addressed that portion of the request in regards to the policies and licensing. Please refer to the highlight area where she is asking for the cases we have for firearm related cases. Thank you!

Courtney,

As far as I know there are no records or statistics regarding Gun Policies kept at MCSO. The Tax Collector can issue licenses on behalf of the state. Anything else is out of my scope of knowledge.
