Who is eligible to apply for a Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL)?

  1. Washington State residents only

  2. Anyone living in the United States

  3. Only Washington State residents and residents of other states with a reciprocity agreement

  4. Anyone visiting Washington State

The correct answer is: Washington State residents only

The eligibility criteria for applying for a Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL) specify that only Washington State residents can apply for this license. This requirement ensures that the applicant is subject to the laws and regulations specific to Washington State and can be properly vetted through local law enforcement. While it may be appealing to consider broader options for eligibility, such as anyone living in the United States or those visiting Washington State, these options do not align with the legal framework governing the CPL. Only residents, who can provide proof of residency in Washington State, are able to submit an application and be considered for a concealed pistol license. This ensures a level of accountability and adherence to the state's specific safety and legal requirements.
