Which of the following is NOT a disqualifier for obtaining a CHL in Oregon?

  1. Being convicted of a felony

  2. Having a restraining order

  3. Being under 21 years of age

  4. Having a hunting license

The correct answer is: Having a hunting license

The correct answer is that having a hunting license is not a disqualifier for obtaining a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in Oregon. In fact, possessing a hunting license indicates that an individual has undergone background checks and has met certain safety and responsibility standards related to firearm usage. In contrast, being convicted of a felony, having a restraining order, and being under 21 years of age are disqualifying factors as per Oregon law. A felony conviction can indicate a significant criminal history, and many felonies disqualify individuals from possessing firearms altogether. A restraining order may suggest that the individual poses a risk to others or themselves, leading to disqualification. Additionally, Oregon law requires individuals to be at least 21 years old to apply for a CHL, which establishes a minimum age requirement for handgun carry. Thus, having a hunting license stands out as a non-disqualifying factor.
