Mine says "State of Washington License to carry concealed pistol". I sell guns on a daily basis, and all the ones I see say the same thing. :dunno:

I know of no place in the WAC where CPL is used in lieu of fully spelling it out.
And I have never understood why the the license differs in terminology than the law.
Not that I care, really. :chuckle:
