How long does an applicant typically wait to receive an Oregon CHL after applying?

Less than 30 days
45 days
60 days
Up to 180 days

The correct answer is: 60 days

The typical waiting period for an applicant to receive an Oregon Concealed Handgun License after submitting an application is around 45 days. This is the standard timeframe stipulated by Oregon law, which specifies that the chief of police or sheriff must take action on the application within a certain period. While some jurisdictions may process applications more quickly, the law allows for up to 45 days to complete the background check and issue the license, provided that there are no complications or issues with the applicant's background. The other options suggest either shorter or longer waiting periods than what is standard. Therefore, the most accurate answer aligns with the typical processing time established by law, which is 45 days. This timeframe ensures that applicants receive a fair and thorough evaluation of their background before a decision is made regarding their eligibility for the CHL.
