For anyone planning to purchase a handgun for the purpose
of carrying a concealed fi rearm, the state of Oregon requires class
and certifi cation prior to applying for a permit. Oregon residents
must apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) in the county
they live in, and Oregon does not recognize any other state’s CHL
permit.
On March 2, NRA certifi ed trainer Shaun Curtain of Firearm
Training Northwest will be offering two classes at the Florence
Events Center providing the necessary Oregon Concealed Carry
training certifi cate.
Curtain has been a Hunter Education chief instructor for
10 years, with monthly classes at the Vancouver Trap Club. He
has also been a college instructor for 15 years, with concealed
carry classes offered twice a semester at both Mt Hood and Lane
Community College.
The class begins with a review of Washington Firearm Laws
and how to obtain a Washington Concealed Carry Permit, and
then Oregon Laws and how to obtain an Oregon Concealed Carry
Permit (including a training certifi cate).
