Are CHL holders in Oregon required to undergo background checks for ammunition purchases?

  1. Yes, for every purchase

  2. No, CHL holders are exempt

  3. Yes, but only for the first purchase

  4. No, but they must show their license

The correct answer is: No, CHL holders are exempt

Oregon law exempts holders of a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) from having to undergo background checks when purchasing ammunition. This is because CHL holders have already been subjected to a thorough background check when applying for their license, which includes a fingerprint and criminal history check. Therefore, they are not required to undergo an additional background check for every ammunition purchase. The other options are incorrect because A is a generalization and does not accurately reflect the law, C is partially correct but may mislead the reader to believe that CHL holders only need a background check for their first purchase, and D is also incorrect because CHL holders are completely exempt from any background check for ammunition purchases, not just needing to show their license.
