Is it necessary to undergo a background check each time you renew your Oregon CHL?

  1. Yes, every time

  2. No, only the first time

  3. Yes, but only every other renewal

  4. No, not unless there's a reason to suspect criminal activity

The correct answer is: Yes, every time

It is necessary to undergo a background check each time you renew your Oregon CHL because it ensures that you are still eligible to hold a concealed handgun license and have not become disqualified due to any new criminal activity. Option B, No only the first time, is incorrect because the initial background check is only done when applying for the CHL, not for renewals. Option C, Yes but only every other renewal, is incorrect because Oregon law requires a background check to be conducted every time the CHL is renewed. Option D, No not unless there's a reason to suspect criminal activity, is incorrect because it implies that the background check is only necessary if there is suspicion of criminal activity, when in fact it is a mandatory requirement for all renewals.
