Who is responsible for issuing a concealed handgun carry license in Arkansas?

The Department of Public Safety
The local police department
The Department of Finance and Administration
The Attorney General's Office

The correct answer is: The Department of Finance and Administration

In Arkansas, the responsibility for issuing a concealed handgun carry license lies with the Department of Finance and Administration. This department oversees the application process and ensures that all criteria set by state law for obtaining a concealed carry license are met. Applicants must provide necessary documentation, and the department conducts background checks to verify eligibility. While other entities like law enforcement agencies may be involved in the process, for example, by facilitating certain parts of the application or conducting the required training, they do not have the authority to issue the license. The Attorney General's Office and the Department of Public Safety play roles in broader firearm regulations and public safety but do not issue the concealed carry licenses directly.
