CHL Firearms Safety Course

The online Concealed Firearms Safety Course training program, offered by the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association, promotes gun safety while supporting sheriff’s offices. OSSA and Oregon sheriffs believe in, and take an oath to uphold, the Constitutions of the State of Oregon and the United States of America. This includes supporting your statutory right to apply for a concealed handgun license. We believe that your sheriff, as your elected chief law enforcement officer of the county, is the best suited for this training. Furthermore, sheriffs support the constitutional right of all law abiding citizens to bear arms as long as it is done so in a safe and responsible manner.
