Where is it prohibited to carry a concealed pistol, even with a CPL, in Washington?

Public parks
Restaurants serving alcohol
Courthouses and courtrooms
Retail stores

The correct answer is: Courthouses and courtrooms

In Washington, it is legally prohibited to carry a concealed pistol in courthouses and courtrooms, even if an individual possesses a concealed pistol license (CPL). This restriction is in place due to the need to ensure safety and security within judicial environments, where the presence of firearms could pose a significant risk to court personnel, jurors, and the public. Various laws and regulations specifically designate these locations as firearms-free zones to maintain the integrity of the legal process and protect all parties involved. While there are restrictions on carrying in other places, such as certain public parks or establishments serving alcohol, exceptions exist, and specific conditions may allow for carrying in those areas under certain circumstances. However, the prohibition in courthouses and courtrooms is absolute to uphold public safety and the orderly conduct of legal proceedings.
