I live in Vancouver Washington, pretty much 15 mins from downtown portland. I am in the Portland/ Oregon, area quite often with my children and would occasionally feel better to be prepared if the situation arises. And since there is no open carry without a CHL, that leaves me basically defensless. So i sent in an application to Washington county (Hillsboro/ Beaverton area) cause i heard from a couple people id have better luck somewhere other than Multnomah county. I explained that im in Oregon often tarvelling for my sons wrestling events to different cities and states almost every weekend, and had family in multiple parts of Oregon. They then called and denied my application because i dont have actuall business in Washington county that would cause me to be there at least 2 days a week, and or carrying large amounts of cash to be in fear for my safety. wtf. So I am going to try Multnomah county, and hope for better luck and try to write different reasoning why i feel the need for a CHL. Just curious if anyone has any pointers or has gone throiugh this that can point me to a better way of explaining why i should be allowed a CHL without sounding like i wana be a crimefighter. Any help would be appreciated.
