What action should be taken if a CPL holder in Washington State is approached by law enforcement while carrying a concealed pistol?

  1. Immediately disclose to the officer that you are carrying a concealed pistol

  2. Only disclose if the officer asks

  3. Say nothing and wait for the officer to notice

  4. Hand over the pistol to the officer immediately

The correct answer is: Immediately disclose to the officer that you are carrying a concealed pistol

When carrying a concealed pistol, it is important to immediately disclose to the officer that you are carrying a concealed pistol. This is because CPL holders in Washington State are required by law to inform the approaching officer of their concealed weapon. Option B is incorrect because it goes against the law and can result in penalties. Option C is incorrect because it is not advised to wait for the officer to notice as this can create a potentially dangerous situation. Option D is also incorrect as it is not necessary to hand over the pistol unless requested by the officer.
