We have some online courses, but kids < 18 yrs must still attend a hands-on field day session and pass our Or state test. Adults can take an online course and be issued a card without ever touching a firearm. That surfaced when some adults discovered they needed a card regardless of age in a few states. Once one reaches 18 in Oregon, no card is required.
The preference in this community is to do our 14-16 hr hands on sit down class and our live fire range session. Our test, however, was recently dumbed down. Average score in our last class was 98%.
When virus mandates were on, we had about an 18-month window with no in person classes in Oregon. Presently, we have no virus restrictions in effect with life essentially back to normal.
