In Ohio, who is responsible for issuing concealed carry licenses?

  1. The Attorney General

  2. Local police departments

  3. County sheriffs

  4. The Department of Public Safety

The correct answer is: County sheriffs

County sheriffs are responsible for issuing concealed carry licenses in Ohio. The other options are incorrect because - The Attorney General does not handle concealed carry licenses in Ohio, as their responsibilities pertain to the enforcement of state laws and the protection of the public. - Local police departments do not have jurisdiction over issuing concealed carry licenses, as their primary responsibilities involve maintaining public safety and responding to emergency situations. - The Department of Public Safety is responsible for managing statewide public safety initiatives and coordinating the efforts of various public safety agencies, but they do not issue concealed carry licenses in Ohio.
