The correct answer is: 21 years old

To apply for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License, an individual must be at least 21 years old. This age requirement is established to ensure that applicants have reached an age where they are generally considered to have the maturity and responsibility necessary to handle a firearm safely and legally. In most states, 21 is also the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer, which further aligns with the laws governing concealed carry permits. This requirement reflects the state's commitment to promoting responsible gun ownership and ensuring that those who carry concealed firearms have a certain level of life experience and maturity.
