Can non-residents apply for a Connecticut handgun carry permit?

  1. Yes, without any prerequisites

  2. Yes, but they must have a carry permit from their home state

  3. No

  4. Only if they are active military stationed in Connecticut

The correct answer is: Yes, but they must have a carry permit from their home state

Non-residents can apply for a Connecticut handgun carry permit, but they must have a carry permit from their home state. This requirement ensures that the individual has already met certain criteria and regulations regarding firearm ownership and carry in their home state before being eligible to carry in Connecticut. This helps maintain consistency and safety standards across different states. Option A is incorrect because non-residents do have a prerequisite, as mentioned above. Option C is incorrect as non-residents can apply for a permit. Option D is also incorrect as being an active military member stationed in Connecticut is not the only condition for a non-resident to apply for a handgun carry permit.
