It is important for individuals to understand the specific laws and requirements that govern open carry in Connecticut to ensure they are in compliance with regulations. Option A is incorrect because open carry in Connecticut does require a valid carry permit. Option B is incorrect as open carry is permitted with the appropriate permit.
