In Washington State, what is the consequence for carrying a concealed pistol without a valid CPL?

A warning for the first offense
A misdemeanor charge
A gross misdemeanor charge
A felony charge

The correct answer is: A gross misdemeanor charge

Carrying a concealed pistol without a valid CPL (Concealed Pistol License) in Washington State is considered a serious offense. The state laws consider it a criminal act and consider it a gross misdemeanor charge. This means that anyone caught carrying a concealed pistol without a valid CPL can face serious consequences, such as a fine or imprisonment, in addition to having a criminal record. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because carrying a concealed pistol without a valid CPL is not considered a minor or warning offense. It is also not considered a misdemeanor or felony on the first offense. It is considered a gross misdemeanor, which is a more severe criminal offense than a misdemeanor, but less severe than a felony.
