Which of the following locations is NOT a prohibited place for carrying a concealed weapon even with a CPL in Washington?

Public schools
Private property where signs prohibit guns
Bars and taverns
State parks

The correct answer is: State parks

In Washington State, concealed pistol license (CPL) holders are generally not prohibited from carrying firearms in state parks, provided they comply with additional park regulations. While there are specific rules about discharging firearms and the use of certain areas within state parks, the presence of a concealed weapon with a CPL is generally permitted in these locations. Conversely, public schools are outright prohibited places for carrying firearms, reflecting a strong stance on safety in educational environments. Private properties, especially those that display signage prohibiting firearms, also restrict CPL holders from carrying. Bars and taverns are often seen as areas where alcohol is served, and the presence of firearms where alcohol is consumed raises safety concerns, leading to restrictions in these locations as well. Thus, while the other locations listed have clear prohibitions, state parks allow for CPL holders to carry, making it the correct choice.
