What type of firearm training is required for the Oregon CHL application?

  1. Military training only

  2. Any NRA firearms safety or training course

  3. Oregon specific training only

  4. No training is required

The correct answer is: Any NRA firearms safety or training course

The correct answer is that any NRA firearms safety or training course meets the requirements for the Oregon CHL application. Oregon law specifies that applicants must demonstrate competence with a handgun, which can be fulfilled by completing a training course recognized by the state. This includes courses offered by the NRA, as well as other recognized programs that cover safe handling, operation, and shooting of firearms. While military training may provide valuable experience with firearms, it is not the only path to satisfy the state's training requirement. Furthermore, while Oregon-specific training is important for understanding local laws and regulations, the state accepts a broader range of certified courses, including those provided by national organizations like the NRA. No training is required is incorrect, as there is a requirement for applicants to demonstrate their knowledge and competence with firearms before being issued a concealed handgun license.
