What is required to carry a handgun openly in Connecticut?

  1. A Permit to Carry Pistols or Revolvers

  2. A hunting license

  3. There are no requirements

  4. A special endorsement

The correct answer is: A Permit to Carry Pistols or Revolvers

In Connecticut, a Permit to Carry Pistols or Revolvers is required to openly carry a handgun. This permit allows individuals to carry a handgun in plain view in a holster or similar type of device. It is important to note that Connecticut does not allow open carry without a permit, making option C incorrect. Additionally, a hunting license (option B) is not sufficient for openly carrying a handgun. Lastly, a special endorsement (option D) does not accurately reflect the requirement for openly carrying a handgun in Connecticut.
