Can a Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL) be revoked?

  1. Yes, if the holder is no longer eligible

  2. No, once issued it is valid for life

  3. Only if the holder moves out of Washington

  4. Yes, but only by court order

The correct answer is: Yes, if the holder is no longer eligible

A Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL) can indeed be revoked if the holder no longer meets the eligibility requirements set forth by law. This includes circumstances such as being convicted of a felony, being involuntarily committed due to mental health issues, or failing to meet other legal criteria. The licensing authority is responsible for regularly reviewing the eligibility of CPL holders, ensuring that only individuals who meet the necessary standards can continue to carry concealed firearms. The other options do not accurately reflect the regulations surrounding CPLs. For instance, while some might think a CPL is permanent, the law requires ongoing compliance with eligibility standards. Moving out of state does not automatically revoke the CPL; rather, it may become invalid in another jurisdiction. Lastly, while court orders can affect certain legal rights, revocation due to loss of eligibility does not necessitate a court intervention, as it is an administrative process based on the license holder's current status.
