Is it mandatory to complete a firearms safety training course to obtain a CPL in Washington state?

  1. Yes, for all applicants

  2. No, it is not mandatory

  3. Yes, but only for first-time applicants

  4. Yes, but only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No, it is not mandatory

While there are training requirements for obtaining a CPL in Washington state, it is not mandatory for all applicants. According to the Washington State Department of Licensing, individuals who have previously held a CPL do not need to complete a firearms safety training course in order to renew their license. Additionally, certain military members and law enforcement officers are exempt from the training requirement. However, it is recommended that all applicants complete a firearms safety training course to ensure they are informed and knowledgeable about responsible gun ownership. Therefore, option B is the correct answer to this question as it is the most accurate and complete in explaining the training requirement for obtaining a CPL in Washington state.
