Is involuntary commitment to a mental health institution a disqualifier for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) in Washington state?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if it was within the last 5 years

  4. Only if you have not been officially released

The correct answer is: Yes

Involuntary commitment to a mental health institution is considered a disqualifier for obtaining a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) in Washington state. This is because individuals who have been involuntarily committed may be deemed a potential risk for owning and carrying a concealed pistol. This option is incorrect because it may give the impression that involuntary commitment is not a serious matter when it comes to obtaining a CPL, which is not the case. In addition, options B, C, and D are also incorrect because they provide a false sense of security for individuals who have been involuntarily committed in the past, leading them to believe that they may still be eligible for a CPL.
