Ace the Washington CPL Test 2026 – Unlock Your Concealed Pistol License!

CPL (Concealed Pistol License) holders in Washington state are prohibited from carrying a concealed pistol on school grounds. This is because state law establishes school grounds as a gun-free zone, with few exceptions. Option A, public parks, may seem like a likely choice since state law also prohibits CPL holders from carrying in recreational facilities, but parks are not specifically listed as gun-free zones. Similarly, while bars and restaurants may seem like a logical choice, CPL holders are actually allowed to carry in these establishments as long as they are not consuming alcohol. Private vehicles, option D, also may not seem like an obvious choice since CPL holders are allowed to carry in their vehicles while traveling, but state law prohibits carrying a concealed pistol on any school bus, meaning CPL holders cannot carry while transporting students or in school parking lots. Therefore, the correct answer is C school grounds.
