Are hollow-point bullets legal in Connecticut?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for law enforcement

  4. Only for military use

The correct answer is: Yes

Hollow-point bullets are legal in Connecticut for everyone, not just law enforcement or military use. Hollow-point bullets are designed to expand upon impact, which can cause greater damage to the target. However, their use is controversial and some states prohibit their use for hunting. In Connecticut, these bullets are legal except in certain situations such as for hunting deer. Option B is incorrect because hollow-point bullets are in fact legal in the state. Option C is incorrect because Connecticut law does not restrict the use of hollow-point bullets to only law enforcement. Option D is incorrect because civilians are also allowed to buy and use hollow-point bullets in the state.
