Is it legal to open carry a firearm in Washington without a Concealed Pistol License (CPL)?

  1. Yes, in all places

  2. No, it's entirely prohibited

  3. Yes, but with restrictions

  4. Only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, but with restrictions

While the state of Washington allows individuals to open carry a firearm without a CPL, there are restrictions on where it is permissible to do so. These restrictions may include certain public places, government buildings, or private businesses that prohibit firearms on their premises. Therefore, option A and B are incorrect as open carry is not allowed in all places and it is not entirely prohibited. Option D is also incorrect as it implies that open carry is only allowed in rural areas, when in fact it depends on the specific location and situation.
