Is open carry of a firearm legal in Washington State without a CPL?

  1. Yes, in all places

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only in rural areas

  4. Yes, except in places prohibited by law

The correct answer is: Yes, except in places prohibited by law

Open carry of a firearm is generally legal in Washington State without a Concealed Pistol License (CPL). However, there are certain places where open carry is prohibited by law, such as in courthouses, jails, mental health facilities, and other locations designated as "gun-free zones." Therefore, option D is correct because open carry is permitted in most places, except in areas specifically prohibited by law. Options A, B, and C are not accurate because they do not reflect the specific conditions under which open carry is allowed in the state of Washington.
