In Connecticut, who is required to complete a firearms safety training course before purchasing a handgun?

  1. Anyone under the age of 21

  2. Felons

  3. All first-time purchasers

  4. Non-residents

The correct answer is: All first-time purchasers

In Connecticut, all first-time purchasers of handguns are required to complete a firearms safety training course before being able to purchase a handgun. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals understand the safe handling and operation of firearms before obtaining one. This helps promote responsible gun ownership and contributes to overall safety within the community. Option A is incorrect because the requirement applies to all first-time purchasers, regardless of age. Option B is incorrect because felons are generally prohibited from purchasing firearms altogether. Option D is incorrect because the requirement applies to all first-time purchasers, not just residents of Connecticut.
