HB 2617 Oregon

Expands CHL from 4 to 5 years, expands disqualifications

Ceasefire Oregon opposes expanding the length of time that concealed handgun license (CHL) is valid (from 4 to 5 years). Increasing the amount of time for another verification of eligibility by 1 year (25%) does not protect Oregonians.

Modifies requirements for and disqualifications from obtaining concealed handgun license.
-Expands disqualifications for a concealed handgun license to convictions in another state.
-Increases portion of fee for issuance or renewal of license from $50 to $85.
-Increases length of time that concealed handgun license is valid (from 4 to 5 years).

Guns in Public Fallacy Bill

Allows person harmed by criminal act resulting in physical injury or death to bring action for damages against place of public accommodation if place of public accommodation prohibits visitors from possessing firearm.

Mandates private businesses display signs permitting guns on premises

Requires person that engages in business in this state, on premises onto which person permits members of public to enter, to post in prominent location outside entry to premises sign that states person's policy with respect to permitting individuals who have license to carry concealed handgun to carry firearm onto premises.

Ceasefire Oregon believes many businesses are happy to tell the public that guns are not welcome on their premises. We are surprised, however, that Republicans are willing to mandate private businesses place signs on their doors.
