In Mississippi, who is responsible for issuing concealed carry permits?

Local Police Department
Department of Public Safety
Mississippi Attorney General's Office
County Sheriff's Office

The correct answer is: Department of Public Safety

In Mississippi, the responsibility for issuing concealed carry permits lies with the Department of Public Safety. This agency manages the application process for concealed carry licenses, ensuring that all applicants meet the legal requirements established by state law. This includes conducting background checks and verifying training certifications, which are essential components of the licensing process. The other entities mentioned do not hold jurisdiction over the issuance of concealed carry permits. For instance, local police departments and county sheriff's offices may be involved in law enforcement and may provide input or assist in certain local regulations, but they are not the authorities responsible for issuing permits statewide. The Mississippi Attorney General's Office provides legal oversight and guidance but does not directly handle the permit applications or issuance process.
