Can a non-resident apply for a Washington state Concealed Pistol License (CPL)?

A non-resident can indeed apply for a Washington state Concealed Pistol License (CPL). Washington allows individuals who are not residents of the state to apply for a CPL under certain conditions. The application process for non-residents requires them to meet specific eligibility criteria and may involve background checks similar to those for residents.

It's important to note that while some states may have restrictions regarding who can apply for a concealed carry permit based on residency, Washington does not impose such stringent limitations, making it accessible for non-residents as well.

The choices regarding employment or property ownership in Washington would limit the options available for individuals looking to apply for a CPL, contradicting the broader access allowed by Washington law.
