Oregon issues concealed handgun licenses through county sheriffs under ORS 166.291, with statewide eligibility, training, and reciprocity standards.
Oregon is a shall-issue state for residents who meet ORS 166.291 criteria, including being at least 21, lacking disqualifying convictions, and completing an approved handgun safety course. Sheriffs must issue or deny within 45 days, and licenses are valid for four years statewide. ORS 166.292 governs application procedures and fees, while ORS 166.293 lists denial grounds and appeal rights. Measure 114, passed in 2022, sought to add a permit-to-purchase regime, but it has faced ongoing litigation. Out-of-state license recognition is limited; nonresidents in contiguous states may apply directly to certain Oregon sheriffs.
Carrying a concealed handgun without a license is a Class A misdemeanor under ORS 166.250.
