Common Questions What if my License has EXPIRED? - The renewal PROCESS and cost is the SAME regardless of whether you apply before or after the expiration date. (If your license has EXPIRED, you do NOT need to retake a handgun safety class to apply for renewal). If your license has expired, you are NOT covered to carry until you apply for a renewal and receive the new license. I applied for renewal BEFORE my license expired, but what if my License EXPIRES before I get my new license? Am I still covered to Carry? If you renewed BEFORE your current license expired, you are covered to carry concealed past the expiration date (up to 45 days from the date you renew) until such time as you receive your new Concealed Handgun License. You must carry the EXPIRED CHL and the RECEIPT showing you renewed. Does your office MAIL out RENEWAL NOTICES? - Yes, as a courtesy our office does mail out renewal notices. However, it is the responsibility of the individual license holder to be aware of the expiration date of their license and schedule an appointment for renewal with the Sheriff s Office. CAUTION: A Concealed Handgun License (CHL) does not authorize you to carry a firearm everywhere. Oregon law provides a few limits on where a person with a Concealed Handgun License can carry a firearm, and federal laws contain a few more prohibitions. Be aware that even if you have a Concealed Handgun License, you cannot carry a firearm on any of the following properties: Federal facilities - federal courthouses, social security offices, in secured areas of airports, and on airplanes National forests marked or posted by signs prohibiting all firearms Tribal reservations or Tribal property - you may not carry a firearm concealed without the written permission of the tribal council; this may also apply to certain casinos on Tribal lands. Contact the Tribal Police for more information Courts - in a courtroom, jury room, judge's chambers or adjacent areas that the presiding judge determines should be free of firearms to ensure the safety of the litigants, court personnel, witnesses and others Private property, business or facility where the owner prohibits firearms possession If found with a handgun on these premises you may be subject to arrest under Oregon Laws, in which case your concealed handgun license would be seized and/or revoked. ATTENTION: You must carry your valid concealed handgun license with you whenever you carry a concealed handgun. Failure to carry a CHL when carrying concealed is prima facie evidence that the person does not have such a license.
