Carrying a concealed pistol in Washington without a valid CPL is:

  1. A misdemeanor offense

  2. A gross misdemeanor offense

  3. A felony offense

  4. Legal if the pistol is unloaded

The correct answer is: A gross misdemeanor offense

In this case, the correct answer is B A gross misdemeanor offense. This is because in Washington, carrying a concealed pistol without a valid CPL (concealed pistol license) is considered a more serious offense than a regular misdemeanor and is punishable by a larger fine and/or longer jail time. Option A incorrectly states that it would be a regular misdemeanor offense, and option C is too extreme as it suggests the offense would be a felony. Option D is also incorrect as carrying an unloaded pistol still requires a valid CPL in Washington.
