Can non-residents apply for a Washington CPL?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only if they work in Washington

  3. No, only residents can apply

  4. Yes, but with additional requirements

The correct answer is: Yes, without restrictions

In Washington, non-residents have the ability to apply for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) without any restrictions imposed specifically on their residency status. This means that individuals who do not reside in Washington State can seek a CPL just like residents can, provided they meet the standard eligibility criteria under Washington law. It's important for applicants to ensure that they also comply with the laws of their home states, as there may be additional considerations or impacts of applying for a license in another state. Washington's approach promotes accessibility for individuals who may travel to the state frequently or who have other legitimate reasons to carry a concealed pistol while in Washington. This often includes visitors and those who perhaps work or engage in regular activities within the state. In contrast, the other options suggest varying restrictions or requirements that do not align with Washington's clear stance regarding non-resident applications for a CPL.
