Which of the following disqualifies an individual from obtaining an Oregon CHL?

Having a speeding ticket
Being convicted of a felony
Not having taken a firearms training course
All of the above

The correct answer is: Being convicted of a felony

An individual is disqualified from obtaining an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) if they have been convicted of a felony. In Oregon, state law specifically prohibits individuals with felony convictions from being granted a CHL because such convictions indicate a serious breach of the law, often related to violence or dangerous behavior. This disqualification aims to enhance public safety and ensure that those who may pose a higher risk to society are not permitted to carry concealed firearms. Having a speeding ticket does not disqualify someone from obtaining a CHL, as traffic violations are generally considered minor infractions and do not reflect on an individual's ability to safely handle a firearm. Similarly, not having taken a firearms training course may affect an individual's preparedness to carry, but it does not serve as a legal disqualification under Oregon law. Thus, the primary concern with disqualifications is associated with felony convictions, which represent a significant legal and moral failure rather than minor infractions or training requirements.
