Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Practice Exam

Which of the following places is it illegal to carry a concealed pistol with a CPL in Washington?

1. Public Parks

2. Bars and Restaurants

3. Courthouses

4. Public Sidewalks

The correct answer is: Courthouses

In Washington, it is illegal to carry a concealed pistol with a CPL (Concealed Pistol License) in courthouses. This is for the safety and security of all individuals present in the courthouse and to maintain order within the judicial system. The other options (A, B, and D) may seem like logical choices as well, as they are often public spaces where individuals may gather, but they do not have the same level of strict security measures and regulations as a courthouse. In public parks, carrying a concealed pistol with a CPL may still be allowed but it is important to research and follow any specific regulations or restrictions in the area. In bars and restaurants, there may be separate regulations for carrying a concealed weapon, depending on whether alcohol is being served or not. As for public sidewalks, carrying a concealed weapon is only illegal if done so in a way that causes fear or alarm to others, but this would not be considered illegal in itself unless it is done in close proximity to a specific location such as a courthouse or government building.
