Which of the following would disqualify an individual from obtaining a CHL in Oregon?

  1. A DUI conviction 10 years ago

  2. A felony conviction

  3. A speeding ticket last year

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: A felony conviction

A felony conviction is indeed a disqualifying factor for obtaining a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in Oregon. This is because Oregon law prohibits individuals who have been convicted of a felony from holding a CHL, reflecting the state’s commitment to ensuring that individuals who carry concealed firearms have a clean legal history that supports responsible ownership and use of firearms. In contrast, a DUI conviction that occurred over 10 years ago does not automatically disqualify an individual. The timeframe and the nature of the conviction play significant roles in determining eligibility. Similarly, a speeding ticket is a minor traffic violation and does not impact an individual's ability to obtain a CHL. Thus, the only correct choice that would lead to disqualification in this context is indeed a felony conviction.
