Saw an internet concealed class--what do you think?

[Alexx1401]

I have long felt people should have the right, as free citizens, to carry. They should also then be held responsible. Make it clear to the public. You carry a gun and do something stupid, YOU PAY.

In a world of classes, some men don't?

lol

Seems like that's a play on the pre-PC HK credo of "In A World of Compromise, Some Men Don't". As HK evolved they eliminated the gender reference. My frame of reference is as a former contract instructor for them 1995-2002.

Late to this party. Sorry for the thread resurrection...

Does this online CHL for OR apply to out-of-staters as well?

I took a class here (WA) for the OR CHL, but I was supposed to make an appointment for an in-person meeting with the sheriff's office across the river.
Never got around to it, as it had to be by appointment only, during regular business hours, time off work, and this was last year before all of this lockdown crap.
Now, the 1-year certification period for the license has expired. Was gonna go through it all over again, but if this online thingy works for Washingtonians, why wouldn't I?

The Mrs. did the on-line certification for her OR CHL, it was a whopping $10.00. Printed out the certificate, showed up at the Sheriffs office with all her documentation, no issues.

 

[sobo]

So, it's just a certificate that you took a class, then. Not the actual carry license. One still has to do the in-person appointment with the Sheriff, I reckon?

I'd imagine so, can't see how an on-line process would provide any type of carry license without the proper authorizing agency involved. But what do I know. The wife thinks I'm a fool...

Looks like it's back to Square One for me...
Thing is, for out-of-staters, OR is a "may issue" state. I apparently need a "reason" to have a CHL in OR as a Washingtonian...

 

[CRBMoA]

You should also call ahead, as not only are we 'may issue', but even before the Plandemic my county (Wasco) was limiting applications to Wasco Co residents only.

 

[BrentN]

Do you travel through Oregon? Recreate or do business in Oregon? I think these are valid reasons.

Thanks for the heads up. I was gonna go to Umatilla County.

I do all of those things. I was told by the course instructor that I needed to have "specific" reasons for wanting the CHL. Would those you list be specific enough?
I don't feel like telling the sheriff where I go and for what purpose, who I do business with and where, and how often I just pass through the state.
I don't feel that that's any of his business...

 

[CRBMoA]

The only questions I recall being asked were on the form itself. There was no interview. Just checking ID and taking pics. And money.

 

[BrentN]

Well, hopefully the opinion of the course instructor is different from the Sheriff's.

 

[BrentN]

Personally, I think I will try the Utah permit route.

But you live in OR, right? Or did you get one when you lived in WA (if you did)?
How long ago did you get yours?

I was thinking of taking that route as well, more recently. It was just more expensive and I didn't need all of the states that UT covers.

Your an independent business man who regularly carries reasonable large quantities of cash and conduct business in both Washington and Oregon...

I'd go through Washington County, Sheriff Pat Garret is reasonable and protects the names of CHL holders...

 

[sobo]

Hmmmmmm... Washington County... long drive...

About 8 hours and 500 miles round trip.

 

[nammac]

Hmmmmmm... Washington County... long drive...

Fair enough. My first WA license came from King County... Talk about a drive...

But you live in OR, right? Yes, for now.

Or did you get one when you lived in WA (if you did)? Had been a Oregon resident continuously for over 20 years.

How long ago did you get yours? Almost two years ago.
