Are background checks required for private gun sales in Connecticut?

Yes, always
No, never
Only for handguns, not long guns
Only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, always

In Connecticut, background checks are required for all private gun sales, regardless of whether the transaction occurs at a gun show or involves a handgun or a long gun. This means that whenever a firearm is sold between private individuals in the state, a background check is mandatory to ensure that the buyer is eligible to possess a firearm under the law. It is a measure designed to enhance public safety and prevent individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms from obtaining them through private transactions.
