(Updated January 19, 2021)
We’ve posted a helpful FAQ on our website (https://www.co.yamhill.or.us/content/CHL-FAQS), which includes contact information should you encounter problems. Let us know what you think!
Under Oregon law (ORS 166), if you wish to carry a handgun* concealed upon your person, or concealed and readily accessible within a vehicle, you must have a concealed handgun license (CHL). CHLs are issued by County (under the authority of the Sheriff) and are good throughout the state of Oregon. Oregon does NOT recognize any other state’s concealed handgun license/permit at this time. Oregon CHLs are valid for 4 years from date of issuance, unless otherwise revoked or denied.
Important note: DO NOT CARRY A GUN CONCEALED UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSE IN THE MAIL. ORS 166.292(2) states: "Failure of a person who carries a concealed handgun also to carry a concealed handgun license is prima facie evidence that the person does not have such a license." In addition, please be aware that your issued Oregon CHL does not supersede federal firearms prohibitions (refer to 18 U.S. Code § 922 (g).)
*For the definition of handgun, see ORS 166.210.
For more information, including a list of local instructors, please see the Additional Information section.
