Can a Washington CPL be denied for a misdemeanor conviction?

Yes, for any misdemeanor
No, only felonies affect eligibility
Yes, if the misdemeanor is related to domestic violence
Yes, but only for drug-related misdemeanors

The correct answer is: Yes, if the misdemeanor is related to domestic violence

Citizens of Washington state must meet certain requirements to obtain a Concealed Pistol License (CPL). One of these requirements is that they must not have been convicted of a domestic violence-related misdemeanor. Therefore, choosing option A, B, or D is incorrect. Option A is incorrect because not all misdemeanors will result in a CPL denial, only those related to domestic violence. Option B is incorrect because even though only felonies will automatically disqualify someone from obtaining a CPL, domestic violence-related misdemeanors are also a disqualifying factor. Option D is incorrect because while drug-related misdemeanors may result in a CPL denial, they are not the only type of misdemeanor that can result in a denial. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the requirement that a Washington CPL can be denied for a misdemeanor conviction related to domestic violence.
