Are non-residents of Oregon eligible to apply for an Oregon CHL?

Yes, from any state
No, only Oregon residents can apply
Yes, but only from contiguous states
Yes, but only from states with reciprocity agreements

The correct answer is: Yes, but only from contiguous states

The correct answer indicates that non-residents can apply for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL), but only if they are from contiguous states. This is because Oregon law specifies that individuals must reside in a state that shares a border with Oregon to be eligible for a non-resident CHL. This provision ensures that those applying have a closer connection to the state, which may facilitate the processes involved in applying for and issuing a permit. In contrast, individuals from non-contiguous states or those who hold a residence in a state that does not have a border with Oregon would not meet the eligibility requirements set forth by the state for a non-resident CHL. The other choices provided do not reflect the specific requirements outlined in Oregon’s laws regarding concealed handgun licensing, as they either overgeneralize eligibility or limit it inappropriately.
