You do not need a permit "cpl" to purchase pistol. You will have to wait for the background check to clear without one though. If you have cpl first you can take it home the same day you purchase the pistol.

You don't need a permit to purchase or own a pistol. In most instances you do need one to carry it concealed.

The RCWs are found here, especially the RCWs from 9.41.50 through 9.41.75 for concealed carry: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.41&full=true


Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

And the purpose is to conceal carry the weapon. In the waist band, purse ect. I would recommend getting one either way you decide to purchase. I'm LE and even though I'm not required a cpl to conceal carry I still have mine.

Ok I see so pretty much it helps make background checks faster to take home same day and if u have the concealed it make u have the right to have it hidden under ur coat ect... And to make it clear if u don't have the cpl you have to carry the pistol in open sight right

It's purpose is to be able to conceal your weapon. Your wife could not put her gun in her purse, nor wear it on her hip under her wasteband, it must be visible at all times (most cases like Bob said). Also, cannot have it loaded in her vehicle.

No, you do not need it to buy a pistol but I would highly recommend it.

Yes it can be loaded when in plain sight attached to your wife. 

You really should get a CPL.....it just makes life easier and takes out all the questions.  You should also probably take a basic pistol class that will answer this and a lot more questions that you are bound to have.

RCW 9.41.060    Exceptions to restrictions on carrying firearms

The provisions of RCW 9.41.050 do not apply to:

(8.) Any person engaging in a lawful outdoor recreational activity such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, or horseback riding, only if, considering all of the attendant circumstances, including but not limited to whether the person has a valid hunting or fishing license, it is reasonable to conclude that the person is participating in lawful outdoor activities or is traveling to or from a legitimate outdoor recreation area



I don't know if going to the park qualifies, but it is an outdoor activity in my book. I doubt if many Law Enforcement or Wildlife Officers are even aware of this law. Go butterfly watching, carry loaded and concealed from time you leave house, in your vehicle and until you return home. Jogging would qualify.

Just get the permit and be safe, don't listen to any of these "gray" area legal tips being thrown around on here. It takes about 30 days and it's just a quick application and fingerprints.
