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

Any resident of Oregon
Only US citizens residing in Oregon
Any US citizen
Legal residents of the US living in Oregon

The correct answer is: Legal residents of the US living in Oregon

The correct answer is that legal residents of the US living in Oregon are eligible to apply for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL). This includes individuals who have the legal right to reside in the United States and have established residency in Oregon. Oregon law specifies that the applicant must be a resident, which means they either live in the state permanently or have established a significant presence within the state. This allows non-citizens who are legally residing in the United States, such as lawful permanent residents, to apply for the CHL if they satisfy all other requirements, including age and background checks. The other options might suggest broader eligibility criteria that do not align with Oregon's laws. For instance, while any resident of Oregon might seem close, it excludes those who are not legal residents of the US. The restriction to US citizens, as suggested in some options, also narrows eligibility unnecessarily, excluding other lawful residents who meet the criteria. This makes it clear that the most accurate and inclusive statement regarding eligibility is that it applies to legal residents of the US living in Oregon.
