Who is eligible to apply for an Oregon CHL?

  1. Oregon residents only

  2. U.S. citizens living in Oregon

  3. Legal U.S. residents living in Oregon

  4. Anyone who owns property in Oregon

The correct answer is: Legal U.S. residents living in Oregon

Eligibility to apply for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) includes legal U.S. residents living in Oregon. This criterion allows not only citizens but also lawful permanent residents the opportunity to legally carry a concealed handgun in the state. The emphasis is on legal residency, which ensures that the applicant is legally residing in Oregon and thus subject to its laws and regulations regarding firearms. For those who are not legal residents, such as temporary visitors or students who do not meet the residency requirements, they would not qualify for the CHL. Understanding this eligibility requirement helps ensure that applicants are familiar with both their rights and responsibilities within the legal framework of firearm ownership in Oregon.
