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

Yes, a permit is required
No, a permit is not required
Yes, but only for residents
Yes, but only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No, a permit is not required

In Connecticut, a permit is not required to purchase a rifle or shotgun. While non-residents do need a hunting license to purchase these types of firearms, Connecticut residents do not need a permit. Option A is incorrect because it incorrectly assumes that a permit is required for all individuals. Option C is incorrect because it excludes non-residents, who may also need a permit. Option D is incorrect because it is specific to non-residents, rather than the general requirement for all individuals.
