Who is responsible for the issuance of pistol/revolver licenses in New Hampshire?

  1. The FBI

  2. The State Police

  3. The local Chief of Police or the Sheriff

  4. The Attorney General

The correct answer is: The local Chief of Police or the Sheriff

In New Hampshire, the responsibility for issuing pistol/revolver licenses lies with the local Chief of Police or the Sheriff. This process allows for local law enforcement authorities to oversee the issuance of such licenses, ensuring that they are in compliance with state laws and regulations. While the FBI conducts background checks for firearm purchases in certain states, and the State Police and the Attorney General play roles in law enforcement and oversight, the local Chief of Police or Sheriff specifically handles the issuance of pistol/revolver licenses in New Hampshire.
