Can a CHL in Oregon be denied if you have been convicted of a felony?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No, never

  3. Only for violent felonies

  4. Yes, unless the conviction has been expunged or pardoned

The correct answer is: Yes, unless the conviction has been expunged or pardoned

A Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in Oregon can be denied if you have been convicted of a felony, unless the conviction has been expunged or pardoned. Felony convictions are taken very seriously, and individuals with felony convictions typically do not meet the eligibility requirements for a CHL. However, if a felony conviction has been expunged (completely erased) or pardoned (officially forgiven), the individual may be considered eligible for a CHL. It is important to note that even with an expunged or pardoned felony, the decision to issue a CHL ultimately lies with the issuing authority.
