Who is responsible for issuing a handgun license in Indiana?

The Indiana State Police
County Sheriff's Office
Local Police Department
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

The correct answer is: The Indiana State Police

In Indiana, handgun licenses are issued by the Indiana State Police. This is because the Indiana State Police have jurisdiction over the entire state and are responsible for enforcing state laws, including those related to firearms. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not have the authority to issue handgun licenses in Indiana. The County Sheriff's Office is responsible for enforcing laws within their specific county, while the Local Police Department only has jurisdiction within their specific city or town. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a federal agency and does not have the authority to issue handgun licenses in Indiana.
