If separate strictures exist for each, provision of both would be greatly appreciated.)

Good afternoon,
I am attempting to make contact with you in regards to your records request that was received by this office. At this time I just wanted to make you aware that I am unable to provide you with some of the requested information. A lot of the information about licensing, permits, revocation etc. can be obtained through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. With that being said I will however be able to provide to you the Data, statistics, and reports for 2015 with regards to incidents involving firearms. I am working on gathering that information at this time and wanted to make you aware of the previous information.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
