Getting Your Concealed Carry Permit

[The Gunny]

Here is a question.

I am going to be applying for my permit when I get back. I am active duty military stationed in Spokane however my house in over in Stevens county. So can I go to the Spokane Police Department office and apply for it or do I have to go to Stevens Co. Sherriffs office? I work with in the Spokane City limits but due to where my house is located did not know if I would have to go to Colville to apply.

Anyone know the answer?

To answer your question, it does not matter which county in Washington State you apply for and are granted a CC-permit, your WA State permit is good in all counties, what helps is once you settle down give your local city or county clerk a buzz to update your address which shows on the front of your permit. I doubt you will have to present at any court house, but your CC permit, just like your drivers license, should reflect your permanent digs. The clerk's office will mail you an updated card. For Spokane call 509-625-4038 M-F 9am-4pm, the court house is located at 1110 W. Mullen St., (downtown by the river-walk) if you need to show proof of residence in person, don't go there with metal that ain't legal sheeple carry: keys, coins, etc. no probs, but please leave your weapons at home if U have to show-up there! :icon_redface:
Good Luck,

Yeah just wondering since I am still active duty still have my Oregon drivers license, saves me money on sales tax. I think I should still be considered a resident due to my being stationed there. I will probably have to show my military ID and a copy of my orders. I am going to be switching my residency later on this year but holding off for now just was not sure if I had to go to the county seat of the county I have a home in or if I could do it in Spokane which is closer and easier to get to. I will give that number a call when I get stateside.

Your residency might give you a bit of a problem. The earlier post was correct - the county in Washington doesn't matter, but I think you do have to be a Washington resident. You may have to wait awhile to establish permanent residency before you can apply.
