In Nevada, who has the authority to issue or deny a Concealed Firearm Permit?

  1. The Department of Public Safety

  2. The local police department

  3. The county sheriff's office

  4. The Nevada State Police

The correct answer is: The county sheriff's office

The county sheriff's office has the authority to issue or deny a Concealed Firearm Permit in Nevada. This is because state law designates sheriffs as the chief law enforcement officer in each county, giving them the responsibility for issuing permits. A suggests the Department of Public Safety, but they are responsible for issuing permits to out-of-state applicants. B suggests the local police department, but they do not have the authority to issue or deny a Concealed Firearm Permit. D suggests the Nevada State Police, but they have no role in issuing permits. Ultimately, it is the county sheriff's office that has the authority to issue or deny a Concealed Firearm Permit in Nevada.
