Is it required to demonstrate handgun proficiency with each type of handgun you intend to carry with an Oregon CHL?

  1. Yes, for each specific make and model

  2. Yes, but only for the categories of handgun

  3. No, proficiency must be shown with only one firearm

  4. No, such proficiency is not required at all

The correct answer is: No, proficiency must be shown with only one firearm

To obtain an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL), it is essential to note that demonstrating proficiency with only one specific firearm is sufficient. This means that applicants are not required to show proficiency with every make or model of handgun they may wish to carry, but rather can qualify by showing their ability to safely and accurately handle one type of firearm. In practical terms, this allows individuals to focus their training on a single handgun, ensuring they are familiar with its operation and function. Once proficiency is demonstrated with that firearm, it can be utilized for concealed carry, irrespective of the variety of other handguns the individual may possess or wish to carry in the future. This requirement simplifies the process and promotes responsible carry practices without imposing an unnecessarily burdensome obligation on the applicant.
