What type of firearm training is required for a CHL in Oregon?

  1. Military training only

  2. Any firearm safety or training course

  3. Online courses exclusively

  4. No training is required

The correct answer is: Any firearm safety or training course

To obtain a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in Oregon, applicants are required to complete a firearm safety or training course. This requirement ensures that individuals have a foundational understanding of safe firearm handling, operation, and relevant laws, promoting responsible gun ownership. The training must be conducted by a certified instructor and can take various forms, including hands-on classes or comprehensive safety courses approved by the Oregon State Police. Options suggesting military training exclusively or no training requirement do not align with the statutory obligations set forth by Oregon law. Similarly, the notion that only online courses are sufficient overlooks the emphasis placed on practical, hands-on training as well as the importance of in-person instruction to reinforce safety principles and firearm handling skills. Therefore, any firearm safety or training course meeting these criteria satisfies the legal requirement for a CHL in Oregon.
