What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Washington CPL?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. 30 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

To apply for a Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL), you must be at least 21 years old. This minimum age requirement is established by state law to ensure that applicants have reached a maturity level generally associated with responsible firearm ownership. Being 21 years old not only aligns with federal regulations regarding the purchase of handguns but also reinforces the importance of readiness in handling firearms safely and responsibly. Individuals under this age may still be able to possess firearms under certain circumstances but cannot apply for a CPL until they are 21.
