In Oregon, what is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Concealed Handgun License (CHL)?

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 25 years

  4. 30 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

While the legal age to purchase a handgun in Oregon is 18 years, the minimum age requirement for applying for a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) is actually 21 years. This means that while a person may legally purchase a handgun at 18 years old, they cannot apply for a CHL until they are 21 years old. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they exceed the minimum age requirement for a CHL in Oregon. It is important to note that even if a person meets the minimum age requirement, they must still satisfy all other eligibility requirements set by the state to obtain a CHL.
