The correct answer is: Yes, every time

In Oregon, it is required to undergo a new background check at the time of renewing a Concealed Handgun License (CHL). This means that every time an individual seeks to renew their license, they must have their background checked to ensure they still meet the legal requirements for carrying a concealed handgun. This recurring check is crucial for maintaining public safety and ensuring that individuals who may have acquired legal issues since their initial license or last renewal do not go unmonitored. The necessity for ongoing checks aligns with the principles of responsible gun ownership and the intent to keep firearms out of the hands of those who could pose a risk to themselves or others. This policy reflects an understanding that circumstances can change over time, which is why a new background assessment is mandated for each renewal.
