Is a background check required every time a CPL holder purchases a firearm in Washington State?

  1. Yes, for every purchase

  2. No, CPL holders are exempt

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only for rifles

The correct answer is: Yes, for every purchase

A background check is required for every purchase made by a CPL holder in Washington State. This applies to both handguns and rifles. While it is true that CPL holders are generally exempt from background checks, this exemption does not apply for firearm purchases. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect.
