Dear Metuchen Borough,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

1. Documents showing the total number of Firearms Purchaser ID cards issued by Metuchen per calendar year (e.g. 2022, 2023, 2024).

2. Documents showing the total number of handgun purchase permits issued by Metuchen per calendar year (e.g. 2022, 2023, 2024).

Note: I am NOT requesting personally identifying data. I simply request documentation showing aggregate numbers by calendar year. See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.3 ("aggregate information regarding the total number of permits to purchase a handgun and firearms purchaser identification cards, without any personal identifying information" is a government record).

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,

Rutgers alumx
