What happens if your CPL expires in Washington state?

  1. You can still carry for 30 days

  2. You must stop carrying immediately and renew

  3. You have a 90-day grace period to renew

  4. You must reapply as a new applicant

The correct answer is: You must stop carrying immediately and renew

When your Concealed Pistol License (CPL) expires in Washington state, you are required to stop carrying immediately and must renew your license to continue carrying legally. Washington law does not allow a grace period for carrying after expiration; thus, as soon as your CPL is no longer valid, you must cease the carrying of a concealed pistol until the renewal process is completed. This rule emphasizes the importance of keeping your licensing up to date to ensure lawful firearm possession and carry. It's crucial for CPL holders to be aware of their license status and to take action to renew it before it expires to avoid any unintended legal issues.
