Concealed carry laws in your state

[old #7]

I live in Oregon and I have a concealed hand gun license (CHL).
The permit is applied for at the Sheriff's office and after a background check (aproximately 4 weeks) the permit arrives in the mail.
The permit is good for 4 years.
In my state if you have any misdomeaner offences in the last four years you cannot have a CHL. These include DUI and domestic violence.

I do not know if Oregon honors other state licensee's in regaurds to concealed carry.

I believe Oregon requires a training course of some kind, I did not need one as I was on active duty Military at the time I got mine. Do not forget the finger prints!

Your right Oregon does require a "training course".
In this training course there is no requirement to shoot your hand gun or even have a hand gun at the time of the class. It is purely an educational requirement that primarilly covers safety and concealed carry law. My wife took hers at the local gun shop. It lasted aproximately 4 hours.
And yes you will have your fingerprints taken at the sheriff's office.

I renewed my liscense today and the shefiff's office gave my a list of states that honor Oregon's liscense to carry.

Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, and Vermont.

The strange thing is Oregon does not honor any other states liscense

In Florida you are allowed to carry a holstered handgun in the glove compartment without a carry permit. Concealed weapons permits require a class and a range shoot prior to obtaining the permit. Certain misdemeanors disqualify you. Other than that issue they are easy to obtain.
