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

  1. Completing a firearms safety course

  2. Being a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant

  3. Passing a criminal background check

  4. Passing a written firearms exam

The correct answer is: Passing a written firearms exam

To obtain a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in Oregon, applicants are not required to pass a written firearms exam. The state does not mandate that individuals demonstrate their knowledge of firearms through passing an exam as a part of the licensing process. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that the applicant meets specific criteria, such as being a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant, completing a criminal background check, and understanding firearm safety, which is typically addressed through a safety course rather than a formal written test. In contrast, completing a firearms safety course, being a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant, and passing a criminal background check are essential requirements for obtaining the CHL. These elements help ensure that individuals carrying concealed firearms are knowledgeable about firearm safety and responsible ownership, as well as assessing their legal eligibility to possess firearms.
