CHL PAGE.

Applications and renewal forms.

Notes:

(According to Undersheriff Brian Anderson, in an e-mail we received on Feb. 28th 2005, the Josephine Country Sheriff will no longer accept checks for CHL fees.)

Pick up application at Sheriff's office. Applications accepted only on Wednesdays from 1PM to 5PM. Cost $50 for License and $15 check or money order for finger prints. As long as you renew within 2 years of expiration date and your references are still alive then they just write same in the reference box. Background check. Can't carry in places where there are "endangered species." Note, as of October 14th, 2003 Sheriff Daniel was telling license holders they may not carry on school grounds. As always, this is NOT true. We have informed the sheriff that his information is incorrect.

UPDATE:

On Oct 27th 2003 we received the following e-mail from the Sheriff:

Dear Kevin.
I am a fervent supporter of our rights to bear arms and will certainly have this information looked into and corrected. Thanks for your e-mail.

Dear Sheriff Daniels,
It has come to our attention that you have included a flyer with issued concealed handgun licenses advising license holders that they may not carry on school grounds. I have enclosed a .gif of this flyer.The information you are giving out is incorrect.
Federal law very specifically EXEMPTS license holders and there is NOTHING in Oregon law that restricts chl holders from carrying concealed on school property.
Please correct the information you are supplying to license holders.

Additional Update. As of 11/22/2006, the CHL page on the Josephine County Sheriff's webpage contained the following quote in large red letters:

 CAUTION 
Possession of a concealed handgun license DOES NOT authorize you to carry a firearm in a Public Building as defined in ORS 166.360 (3) or a Federal building or on airport property.  Violation of the Federal Aviation Requirement (107.21(a)(1) carries a maximum civil penalty of $10,000.  If you are apprehended with a weapon on these premises your concealed handgun license will be seized and returned to the Sheriff.

Please be aware, there is NO LAW prohibiting concealed carry in "public buildings" or on "airport property" outside the secure area administered by the TSA. The information the Sheriff has posted is wrong. We have contacted the Sheriff and informed him of the errors. If the incorrect information is corrected we will post notice here.

As of 11/29/06 the above incorrect information has been removed from the Sheriff's website. We appreciate the correction.
