What is the penalty for carrying a firearm without a permit in Connecticut?

  1. Fine only

  2. Imprisonment only

  3. Fine and imprisonment

  4. A warning for the first offense, then fines

The correct answer is: Fine and imprisonment

Carrying a firearm without a permit in Connecticut is considered a serious offense. As such, the penalty for doing so is not just limited to a fine or imprisonment, but rather it can include both. Option A and B are incorrect because they only mention one potential consequence, whereas the question asks for the penalty as a whole. Option D is also incorrect because it suggests that the first offense may result in only a warning, which is not the case for carrying a firearm without a permit in Connecticut. Option C is the most accurate answer as it includes both potential consequences for this offense in Connecticut.
