What is NOT a requirement to apply for an Oregon CHL?

Being a U.S. citizen
Having a valid driver's license
Owning a handgun
Being a resident of Oregon or a neighboring state

The correct answer is: Owning a handgun

Owning a handgun is not a requirement to apply for an Oregon CHL. This is because the state does not require CHL applicants to own a handgun before obtaining a permit. Option A, being a U.S. citizen, may seem like a possible requirement, but it is not always the case as lawful permanent residents can also apply for a CHL. Option B, having a valid driver's license, is also not a requirement as there is a non-driver's identification card that can be used instead. Option D may initially seem like a valid answer, but it is not the case as Oregon allows residents of neighboring states to apply for a CHL as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.
