How long is the waiting period after applying for a gun permit in Connecticut before it is issued?

  1. No waiting period

  2. 2 weeks

  3. 8 weeks

  4. 12 weeks

The correct answer is: 8 weeks

The state of Connecticut requires an 8-week waiting period after an individual has applied for a gun permit. This waiting period is necessary for the state to complete a thorough background check of the applicant and ensure that they meet the necessary requirements for owning a firearm. Option A is incorrect as there is a waiting period in Connecticut. Option B is also incorrect as 2 weeks is not the required waiting period in this state. Option D is incorrect as 12 weeks is longer than the actual waiting period in Connecticut. It's important to note that waiting periods for gun permits can vary by state, so it's important to research the specific laws and regulations in your state.
