Description
The Oregon Concealed Handgun course is a detailed concealed handgun class that consists entirely of online training. The class focuses on many topics related to concealed carry, including laws and legal aspects, gun safety, a section on basic tactical first aid and much more. We wanted to cover every aspect of carrying concealed so that students are properly informed and prepared, not only to get their license, but also to be responsible gun owners. After completing this course the student can apply at their local Sheriff's Office for an Oregon CHL which is valid in Oregon, states that recognize an Oregon CHL, and states that do not require a license to carry concealed. This course is completed entirely online at your own pace and you will have 30 days to complete the class once you checkout.

This course has been updated to reflect the most recent legislative changes brought about by SB 554, which bans the carrying of concealed handguns in certain types of buildings in Oregon.

NOTE: This is not an NRA approved course, but meets the requirements for an Oregon CHL, and is written and administered by an NRA certified instructor.
