How to Get a Permit to Carry a Concealed Weapon in Oregon

Introduction

Oregon is a "shall issue" state. A carry and conceal weapon (CCW) permit will be issued to anyone who qualifies but will not serve as a National Instant Criminal System (NICS) check. The issuing authority is the county sheriff. The following steps will show how to obtain a CCW license in Oregon.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Steps

1

Step One

Be 21 years of age and a resident of Oregon. The sheriff may waive the residency requirement if you are a resident of a contiguous state (California, Idaho, Nevada or Washington) and can demonstrate a legitimate need for a CCW permit in Oregon.
2

Step Two

Complete an approved firearms safety or training course. Oregon does not recognize CCW permits from any other state.
3

Step Three

Fill out the application form at your local sheriff's office. Each county uses its own form; there is no standard. Submit the completed application form, two forms of identification (one must have a photo), your firearms training certificate and the permit fee. The sheriff's office will take your fingerprints and photos.
4

Step Four

Receive your permit or be denied within 45 days. If you are denied, the sheriff must give you the reason in writing.
5

Step Five

Renew your permit every four years by paying the renewal fee. You are not required to inform law enforcement officials you are carrying a concealed weapon, but you must have your permit on your person and present it upon demand.
6

Step Six

Obtain written permission from a tribal judge to carry a concealed weapon onto an Indian reservation or other Indian property.
