What happens if you are found carrying a concealed handgun in Oregon without a valid CHL?

Immediate arrest
A warning and the firearm is confiscated
A citation and possible arrest
Mandatory firearms safety course

The correct answer is: A citation and possible arrest

In Oregon, carrying a concealed handgun without a valid Concealed Handgun License (CHL) is considered a violation of state law. The correct response to this scenario is that an individual may receive a citation and can face possible arrest. This means that law enforcement has the discretion to issue a citation which is essentially a formal notice of violation. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the incident—such as the intent of the individual, previous criminal history, or whether the firearm was used in a threatening manner—there is also the potential for arrest. This understanding of the law emphasizes the importance of obtaining a valid CHL for those interested in carrying concealed handguns in the state to avoid legal repercussions and ensure compliance with regulations.
