What is the primary factor in determining whether a person can legally carry concealed in Oregon?

The person's age
The person's criminal history
The type of firearm
The person's ability to pay the fee

The correct answer is: The person's criminal history

The primary factor in determining whether a person can legally carry concealed in Oregon is their criminal history. Age, type of firearm, and ability to pay the fee may also have some influence, but they are not the primary factor. It is essential for the safety of the community that individuals with a history of violent or criminal behavior are not allowed to carry concealed weapons. Therefore, thorough background checks are conducted to determine if the person has a criminal record that would prohibit them from carrying a concealed weapon.
