Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Practice Exam

In Washington State, when transporting a firearm in a vehicle, the firearm must:

1. Be kept in the glove compartment

2. Be unloaded and in a locked container

3. Be visible at all times to avoid suspicion

4. Be carried on the person

The correct answer is: Be unloaded and in a locked container

When transporting a firearm in Washington State, it is important to follow state laws and regulations. Option A is incorrect because firearms should not be readily accessible, and storing them in a glove compartment could make them easily accessible to others. Option C is incorrect because openly displaying a firearm, even in a vehicle, could cause alarm and suspicion. Option D is incorrect because it is not necessary to carry the firearm on your person while in a vehicle. The safest and legal way to transport a firearm in Washington State is to make sure it is unloaded and in a locked container. This ensures that the firearm is not accessible to anyone and reduces the risk of accidents or misuse.
