Are background checks required for private gun sales in Connecticut?

Yes, for all firearms
No
Only for handguns
Only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

Connecticut is one of the few states in the US that requires background checks for all firearm sales, including private sales. This means that even if someone purchases a gun from a private individual, a background check is still mandatory. Options B, C, and D are all incorrect because they suggest that there are exceptions to this requirement, which is not the case in Connecticut.
