Are private firearm sales between individuals allowed in Connecticut without a background check?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for rifles and shotguns

  4. Only with approval from local law enforcement

The correct answer is: No

Individuals are not allowed to privately sell or transfer firearms in Connecticut without obtaining a background check. This applies to all types of firearms, including rifles and shotguns. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that private firearm sales are allowed without a background check, which is not the case. Option C is incorrect because it implies that there are exceptions for certain types of firearms, but this is not true. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that individuals can only sell or transfer firearms with approval from local law enforcement, but this is not a requirement for background checks. The correct answer, B, is the only option that accurately reflects the laws and regulations regarding private firearm sales in Connecticut.
