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

  1. The Attorney General's Office

  2. County Sheriff's Department

  3. Department of Public Safety

  4. Local Police Department

The correct answer is: County Sheriff's Department

In Alabama, the County Sheriff's Department is responsible for issuing concealed carry permits. This is because Alabama law designates the sheriff of a county as the official responsible for processing and issuing concealed carry permits to qualified applicants. The sheriff conducts background checks and ensures that applicants meet all the requirements before issuing the permit. Therefore, the correct answer is B. The other options are incorrect because the Attorney General's Office, Department of Public Safety, and Local Police Department do not have the authority to issue concealed carry permits in Alabama. It is essential to understand the specific roles and responsibilities outlined in Alabama's gun laws to ensure compliance and proper procedures when obtaining a concealed carry permit.
