Which of the following would disqualify someone from receiving a Washington CPL?

Having a speeding ticket
Being convicted of a felony
Not having completed a firearms safety course
All of the above

The correct answer is: Being convicted of a felony

Being convicted of a felony is a significant disqualifier for obtaining a Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL). In Washington State, individuals who have been convicted of a felony lose certain rights, including the right to possess a firearm. This restriction is a critical part of the law, as it aims to prevent individuals who have committed serious crimes from having access to firearms, thereby promoting public safety. In contrast, having a speeding ticket typically does not indicate a lack of responsibility nor does it fall under serious criminal behavior that would impact one's ability to obtain a CPL. Similarly, not completing a firearms safety course does not automatically disqualify someone from receiving a CPL, although completing such a course is highly recommended and may be required by some issuing authorities. The emphasis on felonies as a disqualifier reflects the state's intent to regulate gun ownership for those posing a potentially higher risk to public safety.
