Anyone lived in Oregon with a CHL before?

[ghettodub]

So I'm planning on moving up to Oregon in a little over a year, and I'm wondering if anyone on here has lived there and has any experience with their concealed handgun licenses (CHL). I know that Oregon doesn't honour any other state's CCWs, so I'll have to get a new one when I move up there.

Looks like it's cheap and easy....

[ghettodub]

Appreciate the links, and yeah, I'm familiar with both of those resources. Just curious if anyone on here has any experience with the process up there. [Beer]

I lived in Oregon for three years, and had their concealed carry permit. It was a piece of cake if I remember right, just filled out the app and gave them fingerprints and pictures. I lived in Jackson County. They will cancel your permit if you move out of state, at least they did mine.

[ghettodub]

Thanks for the reply. Seems like from what I've read that their permit is pretty easy to get

Is a class required?

[gungrinder]

It wasn't when I got mine...

[ghettodub]

Yeah, they require a class for it, just like here. The fees for most counties I've seen up there are $65, and the wait period is 45 days

I guess times have changed. Of coarse maybe it's gotten better, perhaps they're a little more carefull with their permit holders personal information these days. I remember the local paper publishing a huge list of permit holders names, mine included. I don't recall whey they did it but it sure fried my bacon... still does.
