Which firearms are banned from possession in Connecticut without special permission?

  1. All semi-automatic rifles

  2. Select-fire rifles

  3. All handguns

  4. Firearms with a silencer

The correct answer is: Select-fire rifles

In Connecticut, select-fire rifles are banned from possession without special permission. Select-fire rifles are firearms that have the capability to switch between semi-automatic and automatic fire modes. Automatic firearms are highly regulated under federal law, and owning one requires approval through the National Firearms Act (NFA) process. It is important to note that other options such as all semi-automatic rifles, all handguns, and firearms with a silencer are not categorically banned from possession in Connecticut without special permission.
