Who is eligible to apply for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL)?

Oregon residents only
US citizens living in Oregon
Oregon residents and residents of contiguous states
All US residents

The correct answer is: Oregon residents and residents of contiguous states

An Oregon CHL is available to Oregon residents as well as residents of neighboring states who have had reciprocal agreements established with Oregon for concealed carry permits. Oregon is a "may issue" state, meaning the decision to grant or deny a CHL falls to the discretion of the local sheriff's office. This is why options A, B, and D are incorrect. Option A is too narrow and excludes non-residents, option B is incorrect as it excludes both non-residents and residents of neighboring states, and option D is incorrect as it includes all US residents regardless of their state of residence. Option C is the correct answer as it includes both Oregon residents and residents of contiguous states. It is important to note that each state has its own laws and requirements for issuing concealed carry permits, so it is always best to research and follow the specific guidelines for the state in which you are seeking a permit.
