Is a background check required for private gun sales in Connecticut?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. Yes, but only for handguns

  3. No, it's not required

  4. Only if sold at a gun show

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

When purchasing a firearm from a private seller in Connecticut, a background check is required regardless of the type of firearm being sold. Option B is incorrect because handgun sales are not the only ones that require a background check. Option C is also incorrect because background checks are required for private sales. Option D is incorrect because background checks are required for all private sales, not just those at gun shows.
