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

Any resident over 21 years of age without a criminal record
Non-residents from neighboring states only
Only former law enforcement officers
Residents over 18 years of age

The correct answer is: Any resident over 21 years of age without a criminal record

The eligibility criteria for applying for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) specify that applicants must be residents of Oregon who are at least 21 years old and meet certain legal standards. Specifically, they must not have felony convictions, certain misdemeanors, or issues such as restraining orders that may prevent them from owning or carrying a firearm. This requirement ensures that those who apply for the license have a demonstrated level of responsibility and compliance with the law. The age restriction helps to ensure that applicants have reached an age where they are typically considered to have the maturity and legal capacity to responsibly handle firearms. The other options do not align with the legal requirements set forth by Oregon law. Non-residents are not allowed to apply for a CHL under the general guidelines, and the stipulation that only law enforcement officers or those over 18 can apply does not reflect the specific age and residency requirements that govern the issuance of a concealed handgun license in the state. Thus, the correct answer captures the essential criteria for eligibility to ensure that applicants are adequately vetted for firearm ownership and carrying responsibilities.
