Quickest cheapest way to carry in Washington state

[fullmetaljesus]

Mdeshon and I will be making a trip out to washington state, to climb Mt St helens. We would like to be able to carry while there.

What would be the cheapest, fastest, and easiest way to obtain a lic so we can carry there?

 

[Mr. Habib]

Utah non resident license.

 

[Mr. Habib]

Here's some more info. Handgunlaw.us, http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/washington.pdf, http://publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/documents/CFPapp0811.pdf.
You will need to take the Utah class, there are instructors here on INGO. Mine was about $100, plus passport photo, and $65.00 (drops to $51.25 on April 1) to Utah for the actual license. It's good for 5 years and the renewal fee is only $15.00, I think. Turn around time is usually 60 days or less.

The Utah permit does, indeed, cover Washington State, and the permit is $65 with modest renewal cost. However, you must take a special Utah permit class that costs, typically, in the $100 range. Neither Kansas nor New Mexico honors the Utah permit, but they do honor the Florida permit, and Washington State also honors the Florida permit.

The Florida permit costs $117, and renewals are a bit more expensive than UT, but the FL permit is good for seven years (UT five years), and you don't need a special, expensive class, plus a total of eight additional states honor the FL permit--UT only seven.

Arizona would be even better, but WA does not honor the AZ permit.

Suggest you investigate both the UT and FL permits before making a decision.

 

[Mr. Habib]

If you already have training that meets the Florida requirement and only want/need it for this trip, then Florida would be a better deal, cost wise. If you're planning on renewing it, or need to take a class top meet the Florida requirements, Utah might look better.

Took the class for ct permit/qualification shoot for ri.. Never applied for either though, cuz I moved here. Might as well put it to use and yes it is ~100 for the class

 

[fullmetaljesus]

Now, i have heard that our hunting class is good enough for FL, is this correct?

 

[Mr. Habib]

I have not applied for a FL license, but I believe that you are correct.

Contact the local police department

In the town where you will be staying. They should be able to give you some info before your trip.

Did I read somewhere that a DD-214 was good enough also? Or I was dreaming I read that.

 

[ryknoll3]

Unlicensed OC is also legal in WA if you don't have time to apply. Can't carry in the car though, without a recognized license/permit.

Correct--not a dream!
