Who is eligible to apply for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL)?

US citizens only
Oregon residents only
US citizens or legal residents over the age of 21
Anyone over the age of 18

The correct answer is: US citizens or legal residents over the age of 21

The eligibility criteria for applying for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) specify that applicants must be either U.S. citizens or legal residents and must be at least 21 years old. This requirement ensures that individuals have reached a legal age of maturity where they can be held accountable for their actions and decisions regarding firearm ownership. U.S. citizenship or legal residency is important to establish a verified identity within the legal framework of the state. This measure is in place to promote responsible gun ownership and to align with federal laws that govern firearm possession. Other options lack either the necessary age qualification or citizenship/residency requirements, making them ineligible for obtaining a CHL in Oregon. Thus, “C” accurately reflects the criteria set forth by the state law.
