So, about 5 years ago, I got my CPL from Duvall PD. I dutifully set a reminder in my calendar for two months prior to the renewal date to go renew it. Well, a little more than two months ago, that reminder showed up and I remember thinking "I've got plenty of time to renew". So, this past Monday I'm sitting in the truck and realized that I hadn't done anything about it and wondered when it was due. Dug my wallet out and took a look, and sure enough, it's expired now.
Great, remove my carry piece, and clear it putting the magazine & extra round in my center console and feeling a bit naked with no way to open carry if I wanted to.
What a moron. I guess there's a 90 day "grace period" where I can get it renewed (and pay a $10 fine). So I need to look into that this week & get it done.

It’s a good reminder.
I’m amazed that the WA state doesn’t remind you either… I mean it’s free money for them.
I have a few from other states and they send me reminders. Get it done. It’s a cheap lesson.

One at two-ish months out, and another two weeks prior. That way if I do what you did, I'll get another reminder.

In Skagit county at least, it let me do it online. I had to scan my old permit and drivers license, but the whole process only took about 5 minutes. Way easier than taking time off work to go down there in person, and no real reason not to just get it done.

Bummer. Here in Texas the state DPS sends us a reminder letter about six months before expiration. I did my renewal application online and new License to Carry Handgun was here in about 3 weeks

My understanding is that WA state is sending expiration reminders to everyone too. I know I got one last time mine expired, a couple of years ago.
Regardless, I still keep my own calendar reminder … for all of the CPLs that I have.

And no, I would never be like the OP.
I would never remove and unload my sidearm just because a piece of paper in my wallet is expired.
WA is in fact sending renewal notices out now.

in my mid 20s i got pulled over by a LEO and told him i was lawfully CCing as i always do when i'm stopped. handed him my CPL and it had expired a few weeks prior and i didn't realize. he told me to get it renewed immediately but thanked me for the cooperation and honesty. maybe times have changed but it was a valuable lesson for me then and have stayed on top of it since.
