Who issues Concealed Handgun Permits (CHP) in Nebraska?

Local Police Department
Nebraska State Patrol
County Sheriff's Office
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)

The correct answer is: Nebraska State Patrol

The Nebraska State Patrol is responsible for issuing Concealed Handgun Permits (CHP) in the state. This organization oversees the application process, which includes conducting background checks and ensuring that applicants meet the legal requirements set forth by state law. This centralized system helps maintain consistent standards throughout the state regarding who can carry a concealed handgun. While other entities, such as the local police department or the county sheriff's office, may play roles in the background investigation or provide information, the final decision and issuing authority rests with the Nebraska State Patrol. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) operates at the federal level and does not issue state-specific permits like the CHP.
