CHL Testing

imported post

I was wondering who all lives in Southern Oregon and has a CHL. I am looking at getting mine, and i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get a quick study for the test, I am also talking my gf into getting one as well as she has a job that has some hazards to it. But if possible I would like to get to know some more people that have them in this area.

There is no "test". You have to take a class, but they don't test you. The one I took (Deschutes County) was informative as it covered a lot of Oregon specific law regarding legitimate self-defense with lethal force but I do not believe there is a statewide standard.

Call you local Sheriff and they will have all the info you need.

As NoNAU stated, there is no 'test'. You just need to take a qualified course.

(B) Completion of any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course if handgun safety was a component of the course;

(C) Completion of any firearms safety or training course or class available to the general public offered by law enforcement, community college, or private or public institution or organization or firearms training school utilizing instructors certified by the National Rifle Association or a law enforcement agency if handgun safety was a component of the course;

(D) Completion of any law enforcement firearms safety or training course or class offered for security guards, investigators, reserve law enforcement officers or any other law enforcement officers if handgun safety was a component of the course;

Good Guys Guns over on Barnett give the CHL course. No testing involved. Give them a call and catch their next scheduled class.
