Where is open carry of a firearm NOT allowed in Washington state, even with a CPL?

State parks
Bars and restaurants serving alcohol
Schools
Private residences

The correct answer is: Schools

In Washington state, even with a CPL (concealed pistol license), open carry of a firearm is not allowed in or on school grounds. This includes on school property, school buses, and at school sponsored events. Schools are considered "gun-free zones" in Washington state, and carrying a gun in these areas is a Class C felony. This law is in place to help keep students, teachers, and staff safe from potential gun violence. The other options, state parks, bars and restaurants serving alcohol, and private residences, do not have the same restriction in Washington state. However, it is important to note that even in these locations, certain rules and regulations may still apply. For example, open carry may be prohibited in certain areas of state parks, and private residences may have their own rules regarding firearms. It is always important to familiarize oneself with local laws and regulations regarding firearms in order to ensure compliance and safety.
