HB 2396: Relating to firearm purchase permits.

HB 2396 automatically qualifies individuals with a valid concealed handgun license to obtain a firearm purchase permit in Oregon, eliminating the need for additional background checks or fingerprinting for this group. The bill amends ORS 166.505 to state that holding a valid concealed handgun license (under ORS 166.291-166.292) satisfies all eligibility requirements for a purchase permit, including background checks. This directly affects licensed concealed carriers, streamlining their process to purchase firearms without repeating the standard application steps required of others. The change does not alter other requirements like safety courses or fees for non-licensed applicants.
