  • Oregon State Law states a sheriff may deny a concealed handgun license if the sheriff has reasonable grounds to believe the applicant has been or is reasonable likely to be a danger to self or others, or to the community at large, as a result of the applicant's mental or psychological state or as demonstrated by the applicant's past pattern of behavior involving unlawful violence or threats of unlawful violence. Also, any act or condition that would prevent the issuance of a concealed handgun license is cause for revoking a concealed handgun license.
