Are background checks required for private gun sales in Connecticut?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. No, it's not necessary

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

In Connecticut, background checks are required for all firearms in private gun sales. This means that anyone looking to purchase a gun from a private seller must undergo a background check, regardless of the type of firearm being sold. This measure helps ensure that firearms do not end up in the hands of individuals who are prohibited from owning them, thus promoting overall public safety.
