What must CHL holders do when stopped by police in Oregon?

  1. Immediately notify the officer that they are carrying a concealed handgun

  2. Only disclose the fact if asked

  3. Present their CHL along with their driver's license

  4. Nothing special is required

The correct answer is: Immediately notify the officer that they are carrying a concealed handgun

When stopped by police in Oregon, CHL holders are required to immediately notify the officer that they are carrying a concealed handgun. This notification is crucial for the safety of both the CHL holder and the police officers involved in the interaction. By proactively disclosing this information, the CHL holder demonstrates transparency and compliance with the law, which can help de-escalate the situation and ensure that the encounter proceeds smoothly. Options B and D are incorrect because CHL holders are not only required to disclose the fact if asked, but they must do so promptly without waiting for the officer to inquire about it. Similarly, simply doing nothing special is not the correct course of action when carrying a concealed handgun and being stopped by law enforcement. Option C, while related to the CHL, is not the primary action that must be taken when stopped by police. While presenting the CHL along with the driver's license may be requested by the officer during the interaction, the immediate notification of carrying a concealed handgun is the most critical step that CHL holders must take in such situations.
