Is a permit required to purchase a rifle or shotgun in Connecticut?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for shotguns

  4. Only for rifles

The correct answer is: Yes

In Connecticut, a permit is required to purchase any firearm, including rifles and shotguns. This permit is known as the "long gun eligibility certificate" and it is mandatory for purchasing long guns in the state. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the actual firearm purchasing regulations in Connecticut.
