| I know my CPL (North Carolina) has reciprocity in WA. I am here in WA for the long term now and was wondering if I am good until the NC permit expires or am I supposed to get a WA state permit since I am now a resident. |
| I moved from NC to WA myself. Applied for the WA CPL as soon as I got here. When I did, they didn't even ask for my NC CPL. I carried it while I waited the 6 weeks for the new one to arrive. The only question I had in that time is, if you don't receive the new one in the time it takes to be considered a WA resident, is the NC even valid since you're no longer a NC resident? As I said, only took 6 weeks, so it was plenty fast, but I always wondered about that. |

Quoted: And if you weren't aware, getting a WA CPL is SUPER EASY, in case that was stopping you. It is so easy, it blows my mind when I read up on "pro-gun" states that are WAY more difficult. Many are more talk than they like to admit. Yeah... WA CPL is more a 'gun carrying tax' than anything else... Kind of like car-tabs for carry... Short form, fingerprints the first time, and pay the fee... Done... 'Hardest' part about it is showing up in person to do the paperwork... |

Quoted:
if you become a resident you are required to have a WA cpl to carry concealed This nails it, If I recall correctly I think theres something in the laws as well saying that if you are a resident that other states CHLs wont work in replacement of a Wa CHL.....its all about the money. Wouldnt want you to get just a Utah and miss out on that $60bucks. |
