Description

The Oregon CHL Live-Fire course is a comprehensive concealed handgun course that combines classroom lecture with live fire exercises. The classroom portion of the course 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. The range portion applies what is learned in the classroom, students get practical experience with a variety of techniques and distances. We set out to put together a class that covers 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. We highly recommend this course for anyone looking to get their concealed handgun license in Oregon. 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 the Oregon CHL, and states that do not require a license to carry concealed.

NOTE: This course is taught by a certified firearms instructor and meets the training requirements for an Oregon CHL.
