Connecticut Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What is required for a Connecticut resident to legally purchase a handgun from another state?

1. Approval from the Connecticut Department of Public Safety

2. A valid Connecticut handgun carry permit

3. An eligibility certificate for a pistol or revolver

4. Both B and C

The correct answer is: Both B and C

Residents of Connecticut are required to have both a valid Connecticut handgun carry permit and an eligibility certificate for a pistol or revolver in order to legally purchase a handgun from another state. Option A is incorrect because approval from the Connecticut Department of Public Safety is not required for purchasing a handgun from another state. Option B is incorrect because having just a valid Connecticut handgun carry permit is not enough, an eligibility certificate is also needed. Option C is incorrect because having just an eligibility certificate is not enough, a valid Connecticut handgun carry permit is also needed. So the only correct answer is option D.
