Under Connecticut law, which of the following is a requirement to purchase a handgun?

A valid driver's license
An Eligibility Certificate for a Pistol or Revolver
Proof of completion of a hunter's safety course
Membership in a state-approved shooting club

The correct answer is: An Eligibility Certificate for a Pistol or Revolver

An Eligibility Certificate for a Pistol or Revolver is a requirement to purchase a handgun in Connecticut. This certificate demonstrates that the individual has met certain criteria to possess a handgun, such as being at least 21 years old, not being prohibited from acquiring firearms under state or federal law, and passing a background check. It serves as an important measure to ensure that only eligible individuals can legally purchase handguns. Option A is not correct because simply having a valid driver's license is not sufficient to purchase a handgun in Connecticut. Option C is not correct because while completing a hunter's safety course may be a good practice for firearm safety, it is not a specific requirement for purchasing a handgun in Connecticut. Option D is not correct because membership in a state-approved shooting club is also not a requirement to purchase a handgun in Connecticut.
