In Alabama, who is responsible for issuing a concealed carry permit?

  1. The Attorney General's Office

  2. Local Sheriff's Department

  3. Department of Public Safety

  4. Federal Bureau of Investigation

The correct answer is: Local Sheriff's Department

The Attorney General's Office is not responsible for issuing concealed carry permits in Alabama. They handle the state's legal matters. The Department of Public Safety is the state agency responsible for enforcing laws and ensuring public safety, but they do not issue concealed carry permits. The Federal Bureau of Investigation also does not issue concealed carry permits, as they are a federal agency. The local Sheriff's Department is responsible for issuing concealed carry permits in Alabama, as they have jurisdiction over the county and its residents. They are responsible for determining an individual's eligibility and conducting the necessary background checks before issuing a permit.
