CHL WAIT TIMES OREGON: Please state your county, how long it took for your Concealed Handgun License

[Aongus]

As I recall I was able to get my application processed at Lake County last year, they were very nice, as well as professional. I spoke to Sheriff Taylor on the way in, he directed me to the right place, his folks had me in And out in under an hour. My license arrived here in WA, in the mail in under three weeks. Since I plan on driving down there every year, I figured it was worth getting the CHL. Of course the drive is 12 hours long as LakeView is a bit off the beaten path. All his folks were using masks, and they made sure I was not running a fever before letting me in, all in all very professionally handled.

Point of data for a new Multnomah County CHL:

Application - Mid-August, 2020
Appointment - December 8, 2020
CHL Received - March 13, 2021

 

[v1pe]

I mailed my application to Multnomah county 10/16 Heard from Multnomah 11/8/20.
4 months from mailing application to my appointment date
I had my appointment 2/23 and was told 45 days to get my permit.

You can see my post above, but don't count on the 45 days. That's what I was told as well and you can see based on my timeline it took ~95 calendar days.

I did phone them up at the ~70 day mark and they told me they were still working on BGC from November. He said call back anytime for status.

Wow! About a year ago in Multnomah it was about 40 days appointment to mailbox. They must be slammed with that long of a wait.

When is the soonest you can renew yours?

Mine is set to expire in july sometime this year, can i put in now? or do I have to wait until a month out/expiration?



Also would be really nice if we would join most other states in allowing constitutional carry but I know I am dreaming with that one. Ya know, just to avoid things like this during times like these.

Washington county sent me my reminder about 1 month from due date. mailed my renewal and had the new one within 3 business days. Took them longer to cash my check that getting the renewal back to me.

Washington Co here. Applied for new CHL in December, earliest appointment was near the end of May, so 5 months. However, I checked yesterday and a lot of slots had opened, including one next Monday, so hopefully I'll have mine then, after 3 months instead of 5.

Has anybody processed theirs in Benton county recently? I'm hoping to apply for mine (first-timer) soon? Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Multnomah/California county did renewal 12/20 at the Sheriffs office got card in mail 04/03/21.Just for a renewal!

 

[shojikitsune]

Multnomah County. Took Sherriff's Association online course March 2020, applied March 12, 2020.

Received course certificates, waited. And waited. And waited.

Called October 23, 2020, was told I had already had my appointment and had missed it, and when I asked how they had notified me, they said by mail and gave me *my parent's 20 year old Benton County address*, not my current one. You know, the one *on* my application. They let me know it was still my fault.

Rescheduled for the soonest possible appointment, March 2, 2021. Attended, printed, photos, gave 'em the money.

Still waiting for the actual card, and hoping it didn't go to my childhood address in Deschutes County, or to a different country...

Man, that sucks pretty badly. What do they do allocate one over worked staffer to process forms for half a day every other week?

 

[Member 53328]

Multnomah County Sheriff is a clown. I am very happy to be in Washington County with Sheriff Pat Garrett.
