Not seeking legal advice. Any insight on other's past experiences on this would be helpful.
I just got differing answers on two phone calls. I just moved from Marion County to Multnomah County. I called into Multnomah County the week of my move to inquire about how to transfer my CHL. The guy on the phone tells me submit the online transfer application, pay the $30 plus $5 fee, and wait for my appointment. I asked him if my Marion County CHL would still be valid until my Multnomah County CHL is issued. He tells me yes, your Marion County CHL is still valid, be sure to keep it with you until your appointment. At the appointment you will get a receipt, and you will keep that receipt until the CHL arrives.
I called back in today to ask for clarification on if, while in Multnomah County, I can have a magazine in or with my firearm while carrying. I heard Portland/ Multnomah made some changes on that but wasn't sure if that applied to CHL holders.
The guy from today tells me there shouldn't be a change on what you can and cant do with you CHL coming from Marion to Multnomah. Then he states, but since you moved, your CHL is no longer valid, and you cannot carry until you get a receipt for your background check, which occurs during your appointment.
I told him that I actually asked that question to someone helping me with how to transfer, and they said it would still be valid. He says, yeah well a co-worker just confirmed it is no longer valid because it must match the address in which you reside to remain valid.
So to sum this up, I have/ had a valid Marion Co. CHL. Expires in 2023.
I move on 10/01. I do the right thing and apply for a transfer immediately.
I was given a mid Feb appointment date.
I was told I can continue to carry.
10/28 I was told I cannot carry until after the appointment.
So that's it? Do everything correct and get carry rights basically suspended for nearly half a year? When I moved from Linn Co. to Marion Co. 2 years back, I walked in with my Linn CHL and literally walked out the door with my new Marion CHL.
Kicker here is the State apparently still recognizes the Marion CHL as valid. I just used my Marion County CHL to make a purchase after I moved (while using secondary documentation to confirm my new/ current Mult. Co. address) and got an instant approval. Not the same thing at all, but if the State will approve a purchase with it, how is it no longer valid?
