What action should an Oregon CHL holder take when approached by law enforcement?

  1. Immediately disclose that they are carrying a concealed handgun

  2. Only disclose if asked by the officer

  3. Keep their hands visible and wait for instructions

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Immediately disclose that they are carrying a concealed handgun

An Oregon CHL holder should immediately disclose that they are carrying a concealed handgun when approached by law enforcement. This is crucial for ensuring transparency and preventing any misunderstandings or dangerous situations. By openly communicating about having a concealed handgun, the CHL holder can work towards establishing a safe and cooperative interaction with the officer. It also shows respect for the law and the authority of law enforcement. Option B is incorrect because waiting to be asked by the officer may lead to misunderstandings or a lack of trust in the situation. It is always best to proactively disclose the presence of a concealed handgun. Option C, while keeping hands visible and waiting for instructions is important for safety, it is equally important to communicate about carrying a concealed handgun to the officer as soon as possible. Option D is incorrect because there is a clear and specific action that CHL holders should take when approached by law enforcement, which is to immediately disclose that they are carrying a concealed handgun.
