Oregon Gun Law Attorney Review
​
"Shawn did what a good lawyer does, win! He was organized and understanding. Very easy to talk to but not over done. Effective and direct. I will hopefully not need an attorney again but if I do it will be Kollie law. Does his homework and very efficient. Thanks Kollie law!" - Stuart
​
If you qualify under all of these mandatory qualifications, the Sheriff may still deny an applicant a CHL under he discretionary qualifications:
​
"a sheriff may deny a concealed handgun license if the sheriff has reasonable grounds to believe that the applicant has been or is reasonably 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."
​
This is where many individuals receive their denial. If you have been denied a CHL under the discretionary qualifications let us help you. Once a crime has been set aside, or you have had your rights restored, the Sheriff may not deny you a Concealed Handgun License.
