Which entity conducts background checks for CWFL applicants in Florida?

  1. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

  2. Florida Department of State

  3. Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

  4. Local sheriff's office

The correct answer is: Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is responsible for conducting background checks for CWFL (Concealed Weapon or Firearm License) applicants in Florida. This department houses the Division of Licensing, which is specifically tasked with processing CWFL applications. The other options, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Florida Department of State, do not have jurisdiction over this process. Additionally, while local sheriff's offices may be involved in the process of obtaining a CWFL, they do not conduct the background checks themselves. Therefore, the correct and most accurate answer is C, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
