I realize that there are no provisions in M114's wording that exempts CHL holders from the requirements set forth to acquire a Firearm Purchase Permit. However, I'm under the presumption that the legislature will need to enact some sort of structural rules & regulations (through legislation?) to fine-tune the implementation of this ambiguous and poorly written measure.
As most are figuring, it's likely that the rollout of this unfunded mandate is not going to be the smoothest transition from how things were done before its passing to now having to establish an entirely new system from scratch. The amount of new applicants chomping at the bits to receive permits will likely overload the program -- Much like the botched 'Obamacare'/OHP system was, when it was first rolled out in Oregon.
It's my thinking that to thin the numbers of people itching to get permits, Sheriffs may apply pressure to the State to establish the allowances for CHL holders to be exempted -- Taking into consideration that they've already fulfilled the requirements in the process to acquire their CHLs, to have them repeat it again would be redundant, and a waste of law enforcement time & resources.
So, in that scenario, if a CHL = GTG for a FPP, wouldn't many first-time permit seekers opt to go ahead and get a CHL instead? -- To 'kill two birds with one stone'.
As I understand it, there is nothing in M114 that will affect the CHL process, as they are two separate programs.
And, as I read it, CHLs are "Shall Issue", whereas FPPs are going to be "May Issue" - Can someone correct me on this, if my thinking is off?
Even if what I'm suggesting doesn't come to fruition, and CHL holders remain unexempted.. If a person is willing to go through the process once, why not double up and get the CHL at the same time too? -- As the process for getting the FPP ought to satisfy the requirement for a CHL. I mean, if one is already @ the Sheriff's office at their FPP appointment getting prints and all.. might as well drop down the other fee, and fill out the Appy for the CHL as well.
The result of either outcome, is the potential for a monumental increase in the amount of CHL holders in Oregon. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING!!!
I can only think that the law of unintended consequences would then be smacking the backers of M118 right square in the jaw, as there would then be multitudes more firearms on our streets/out in public - I'm sure that's not what they had in mind when they came up with this garbage.
