What does Connecticut law require for all private handgun sales?

  1. A bill of sale

  2. Completion of a safety course

  3. A background check

  4. Notification to local law enforcement

The correct answer is: A background check

In Connecticut, state law requires a background check for all private handgun sales. This law is in place to help ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as those with criminal records or mental health issues, do not obtain handguns through private sales. By mandating background checks for all private handgun sales, Connecticut aims to enhance public safety and prevent firearms from reaching individuals who should not possess them.
