Dear Ms. Nason,

We have processed your request for 2015 data and policies relating to firearms. Attached you will find an Excel spreadsheet with all cases involving any type of firearm from Found Property to Homicide. The data includes the current status and disposition of the cases.

Also attached are our current general orders/policies involving firearms for selection and use. Please be advised that the state of Florida does not require licensing or registration of firearms, the only requirements/laws are related to carrying concealed weapons. These are state laws ,which you may obtain from Florida state statute websites. Any local guidelines for shotgun purchasing are local ordinance and may be obtained through the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners website.

Please advise if there is any additional information you may require and I will do my best to help you. Good luck on your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Donna M. Young
