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

Immediately disclose to the officer that you are carrying a concealed pistol
Only disclose if the officer asks
Say nothing and wait for the officer to notice
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.
