It would be nice to get a read from the DOL, I sent them my previous question, hopefully we will hear some answers, and we'll get an official answer...
Like all of you, I just want to be protected ;-) I don't like that all of a sudden my gun becomes "concealed" as soon as I sit in the car... That's why OC doesn't feel too practical to me. The only time I've been assaulted in my adult life, was when I was in my car...
Cheers!

Seems to me that the answer is to go to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department (they contract with University Place), apply for a WA CPL fully explaining that you are active duty stationed in WA and see which permit they give you - - resident or non-resident. They will either issue you a permit for $55.25 or tell you you don't need one. If the latter, get it in writing and carry it with you right next to your FL permit. I don't know whether a non-resident permit looks different from a resident as I have never seen one (I have had my WA permit since about 1991 or 1992, when it was called a Concealed Weapon Permit). It also strikes me as odd that someone would be issued a "non-resident" permit that carries a Washington address (contrast my Utah permit which on it's face is non-resident as it carries my Washington address).
