Are private gun sales allowed in Connecticut?

  1. Yes, without any background check

  2. Yes, but a background check is required

  3. No, all sales must be through licensed dealers

  4. Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes, but a background check is required

Private gun sales are allowed in Connecticut, but a background check is required for all firearm transfers, including those conducted between private individuals. This requirement is in place to help ensure that firearms do not end up in the hands of individuals who are prohibited by law from possessing them. It is essential to conduct background checks to promote safer gun transactions in the state.
