Washington Significant turnaround in WA CPLS

[Dave Workman]

WA Concealed Carry Turnaround: Nearly 5,000 CPLs Added in May

After steadily losing ground for more than a year due to COVID-19 shutdowns of basic counter services by law enforcement agencies, Washington state sheriffs' and police departments are evidently back in the concealed pistol license groove, reversing the decline and adding nearly 5,000 active CPLs during the month of May.

WA Concealed Carry Turnaround: Nearly 5,000 CPLs Added in May

On June 1, the state licensing agency, which only keeps the data and does not issue CPLs, reported a whopping 4,936 active license turnaround during the month of May.

Nice to hear a positive! Congrats to all of those newly licensed.

I was one of those since I let mine expire like a dumby during covid.

Had a hell of time getting an appointment to apply and was pretty annoyed that it took 44 days from application to approval, plus a few days for it to be mailed out.

I guess the law doesn't apply to the government. Last time I checked, the RCW stated that the permit must either be approved or denied within 30 days.

I renewed mine on line.........Lynnwood PD. Got it in about one week.

We walked in to renew ours at the Grays Harbor sheriffs Department, 12 days from filing they came in the mail.

Clark county is still dragging its feet. I got my non resident renewal in as early as possible and they took longer than 60 days to get it to me.

WSP background check system has been down for over 2 weeks. This affects CPL renewals, pistol and semi auto rifle transfers!

Dave...will SAF be getting into this WSP NICS data snafu? Do you think it can be resolved without legal action?

In Pierce County, I applied for my renewal on 7/21 and it still has not even been assigned to a processor. I've sent numerous emails and have also spoken with someone at the front desk of South Sound 911 on the telephone twice. Long story short, they've been unable to provide ANY answers or ETA. It's pretty pathetic that they are blatantly ignoring RCW 9.41.070. Not only are they way past the 30 day period, they are also in non-compliance with another subsection that states permit holders may apply for a renewal as early as 90 days before the expiration of their current license. However, South Sound 911 refuses to accept any applications that are more than 30 days from the expiration of the license. Apparently the RCWs only apply to citizens and not the government or any organization tied to it.

Update on my previous message: "Permitium" acknowledged receipt of my fee and documents on 16 July '21. I still haven't heard from anyone. I left another message on Southsound 911's phone today, and emailed them last week. No response from them. I really don't know what we can do about it.

I wonder if there's potential for class-action legal action if enough of us are experiencing the same thing...
