What type of storage is required by Connecticut law when a minor under 16 is likely to gain access to a loaded firearm?

No special storage required
Locked cabinet
Trigger lock
Safe storage with a locking device

The correct answer is: Safe storage with a locking device

In Connecticut, it is required by law to store loaded firearms in a safe storage with a locking device when a minor under 16 may have access to them. This ensures that the firearm is kept securely out of reach of the minor, reducing the risk of accidents or intentional harm. Options A, B, and C do not provide the same level of secure storage as a safe with a locking device, making them incorrect. Option A may still allow easy access to the firearm, while options B and C do not fully immobilize the weapon. Therefore, option D is the best choice to comply with Connecticut laws and promote firearm safety.
