What is the main reason an applicant would be denied an Oregon CHL?

Failing the firearms safety test
Not providing enough identification
Having a disqualifying criminal record
Not being a resident of Oregon

The correct answer is: Having a disqualifying criminal record

An applicant would be denied an Oregon CHL if they have a disqualifying criminal record. This means they have been convicted of certain crimes that make it unsafe for them to possess a concealed firearm. Failing the firearms safety test, not providing enough identification, or not being a resident of Oregon may also lead to denial, but the main reason is having a criminal record. This is because the purpose of a CHL is to ensure that only responsible and law-abiding citizens can legally carry a concealed weapon. A criminal record may indicate a history of violent or unlawful behavior, which could pose a threat to public safety. Therefore, those with a disqualifying criminal record are not eligible to receive a CHL in Oregon.
