Is a background check required when transferring a firearm between private parties in Connecticut?

No
Yes, for handguns only
Yes, for all firearms
Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

In Connecticut, a background check is required when transferring a firearm between private parties for all types of firearms. This means that regardless of the type of firearm being transferred, whether it is a handgun, long gun, or any other type, a background check is mandatory in the state of Connecticut. This regulation is in place to help ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as those with criminal records or mental health issues, are not able to obtain firearms through private transfers without undergoing a background check.
