In Ohio, who is responsible for conducting the background checks for CCW license applicants?

The FBI
Local police department
County sheriff's office
Ohio Attorney General's office

The correct answer is: County sheriff's office

The Ohio Attorney General's office oversees the CCW licensing process for the state of Ohio, but the actual background checks are conducted by the county sheriff's office. A common misconception is that the FBI conducts all background checks, but in this case, it is the responsibility of the local authorities to conduct the background checks for CCW license applicants. While the FBI may be involved in some aspects of the background check process, they are not solely responsible for it. Similarly, while local police departments are involved in law enforcement within their jurisdiction, the responsibility for conducting background checks for CCW licenses falls on the county sheriff's office. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect.
