Is a permit required to purchase ammunition in Connecticut?

  1. Yes, for all ammunition

  2. Yes, but only for handgun ammunition

  3. No, for any type of ammunition

  4. Yes, but only for rifle ammunition

The correct answer is: Yes, for all ammunition

In Connecticut, a permit is required to purchase ammunition for all types, not just specific categories like handgun or rifle ammunition. This requirement is in place to regulate and track the purchase of ammunition, ensuring that individuals who are legally allowed to possess firearms are the ones buying ammunition. This regulation helps promote safety and accountability in the use of firearms in the state. As for the other options: - Option B stating that a permit is required only for handgun ammunition is incorrect. - Option C stating that no permit is required for any type of ammunition is also inaccurate. - Option D suggesting a permit is required only for rifle ammunition is not the case in Connecticut. Therefore, the correct answer is A, as a permit is indeed necessary to purchase any type of ammunition in the state.
