Who has the authority to issue a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina?

  1. The Department of Justice

  2. The State Bureau of Investigation

  3. The local Sheriff's office

  4. The Department of Public Safety

The correct answer is: The local Sheriff's office

In North Carolina, the local sheriff's office has the authority to issue Concealed Handgun Permits. The Department of Justice and the State Bureau of Investigation do not issue permits, but they may run background checks and provide information to the sheriff's office. The Department of Public Safety is responsible for overseeing the overall public safety and security of the state, but does not issue concealed handgun permits. Therefore, the local sheriff's office is the only applicable option among the choices listed.
