Can an Oregon CHL be revoked if the holder becomes prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm?

Yes, immediately upon conviction
Yes, but only after a hearing
No
Only if the conviction is for a violent crime

The correct answer is: Yes, immediately upon conviction

The correct understanding is that an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) can indeed be revoked if the holder becomes prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm. This revocation occurs immediately upon conviction, as the law mandates that individuals who are found guilty of specific offenses lose their legal right to carry firearms. This means that once a conviction is entered, there is no need for an additional hearing to revoke the license; the prohibition is automatic. This framework ensures that public safety is prioritized by removing the ability for individuals who are not legally authorized to possess firearms from maintaining their concealed carry privileges. The other considerations surrounding the hearings or additional criteria such as the nature of the conviction do not apply in this context, as the revocation linked to the conviction is direct and immediate.
