I recently got my concealed carry permit here in Washington. I applied for it on a Friday afternoon and had it in my hands by Monday. It was very simple, just a form and a background check. I would like to point out the difference from getting the same permit in Texas years back. There, I had to take short gun handling and safety course. The course covered basic things like maintenance, the law, and safe storage. Then I had to take a shooting accuracy test at the range and there was a minimum you had to achieve. This is something we should have here in Washington. How could anyone object to spending a few hours making sure you understand the law in the state, gun care, safe storage and make sure that someone carrying a concealed weapon knows how to use it accurately?
