The Office for National Statistics publishes offences recorded by the police involving firearms at the police force area level. Offences involving firearms includes any notifiable offence recorded by the police where a firearm has been fired, used as a blunt instrument or been used as a threat. Figures for England and Wales are in Table 12 of Offences involving the use of weapons: data tables, year ending March 2017 available here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/offencesinvolvingtheuseofweaponsdatatables

Data are not available at a lower geographical level than police force area.
