What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL)?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. 30 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age requirement to apply for a Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL) is 21 years old. This age requirement aligns with the state regulations regarding the carrying of concealed firearms, reflecting the belief that individuals should be of a certain age to handle firearms responsibly and legally. The goal is to ensure that applicants have reached adulthood, which is generally considered to come with a greater level of maturity and responsibility essential for firearm ownership. This requirement is consistent with both state and federal firearm regulations, which also set 21 as the minimum age for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer.
