Where should a Washington CPL holder not carry a concealed pistol?

State parks
Bars or taverns
Private businesses that allow firearms
All of the above

The correct answer is: Bars or taverns

Bars or taverns are places where a Washington CPL holder should not carry a concealed pistol due to the specific legal restrictions in place. The law prohibits carrying firearms in establishments that primarily serve alcohol, as these environments can create heightened risks due to the potential for intoxication and increased likelihood of conflicts. This regulation is aimed at ensuring public safety and reducing the chance of firearm-related incidents in settings where alcohol is consumed. In contrast, concealed pistols can generally be carried in state parks and private businesses that allow firearms, as long as the individual complies with any established rules or laws pertaining to those locations. Such provisions support responsible gun ownership while balancing individual rights with public safety considerations.
