What is the penalty for knowingly carrying a concealed handgun in a prohibited place with a CHL in Oregon?

Mandatory community service
Revocation of the CHL
A fine
Jail time

The correct answer is: Revocation of the CHL

Carrying a concealed handgun in a prohibited place with a CHL in Oregon is a serious offense. Although options A, C, and D may seem like appropriate penalties for this crime, they are in fact incorrect. Community service, a fine, and jail time may be given as penalties in other situations, but in this case, the answer is B. This is because having a CHL grants a person special permission to carry a concealed handgun, and violating that permission could result in the revocation of the CHL. This is a more severe penalty than just receiving community service or a fine, as it directly affects the individual's right to legally carry a concealed handgun. Additionally, although jail time may sometimes be given as a penalty for carrying a concealed handgun without a permit, it is not specified in the question that the individual does not have a CHL. Therefore, the correct answer is B Revocation of the CHL.
