Protect Yourself from Prosecution!

Getting a concealed pistol license (“CPL,” also known as a concealed gun license, concealed weapon license, or concealed firearm license) can help protect you from being charged and convicted of crimes in Washington State that you may not have known were illegal. Want to learn more? Contact our Washington State firearm lawyers today.

With a concealed pistol license, Washington law can also protect you from criminal charges in numerous situations. For instance, without a concealed weapon license, it is a crime to keep a loaded gun in your car. If you carry a gun on your person and don’t have a license, you can be convicted of a crime by law enforcement officials.

Getting your CPL will help you avoid these potential problems!
