Is a firearms training course required to obtain a CPL in Washington?

  1. Yes, a state-approved course

  2. No, but it is recommended

  3. Yes, but only for non-residents

  4. No training course is required

The correct answer is: No training course is required

In Washington State, obtaining a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) does not require the completion of a formal training course. The law stipulates that applicants must be at least 21 years old, a U.S. citizen or legal resident, and must not have any disqualifying criminal history. While some jurisdictions may recommend training to ensure responsible use and safety, it is not mandated by state law. This approach emphasizes personal responsibility and individual choice, allowing citizens to seek out training if they feel it is necessary for their safety and proficiency, rather than making it a strict requirement for obtaining a CPL.
