How long is a typical Oregon CHL valid before it needs to be renewed?

2 years
4 years
5 years
10 years

The correct answer is: 4 years

In Oregon, a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) is typically valid for a period of 4 years from the date of issuance. This allows license holders a reasonable timeframe to maintain their ability to carry a concealed weapon while ensuring that they periodically renew their license, which may involve completing additional training or background checks. Renewing every 4 years helps ensure that gun owners remain knowledgeable about any changes in laws or regulations regarding the carrying of firearms, as well as basic safety practices. This timeframe balances the need for responsible firearm ownership with the administrative process of renewing licenses.
