Which of the following is NOT a valid reason for the Sheriff to deny a CHL application in Oregon?

The applicant has a restraining order against them
The applicant is under 21 years of age
The applicant does not reside in the county
The applicant has a recent conviction for DUI

The correct answer is: The applicant does not reside in the county

The other options (A, B, and D) are all valid reasons for the Sheriff to deny a CHL application in Oregon. Option A - having a restraining order against the applicant shows a history of potential violence or danger, which can be a valid reason for denying a CHL. Option B - being under 21 years of age means that the applicant does not meet the minimum age requirement for a CHL in Oregon. Option D - having a recent conviction for DUI may indicate a lack of responsibility and judgement, which can be a valid reason for denying a CHL. Option C - not residing in the county may also be a valid reason for denying a CHL application, as the Sheriff may only have jurisdiction over the county in which they serve.
