Connecticut Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Can a non-resident carry a handgun in Connecticut?

1. Yes, with a Connecticut permit

2. Yes, with any state's permit

3. No

4. Only if they are a law enforcement officer

The correct answer is: Yes, with a Connecticut permit

It is important to note that while some states may have reciprocity agreements allowing non-residents to carry a handgun with their state's permit, Connecticut does not. Therefore, only those with a permit specifically issued by Connecticut are allowed to carry a handgun in the state. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that any state's permit would suffice, which is not the case in Connecticut. Option C is incorrect because it is a blanket statement that does not take into account the possibility of having a Connecticut permit, and option D is incorrect because it only applies to law enforcement officers, not all non-residents. The correct answer is A, as it specifies the only scenario in which a non-resident would be allowed to carry a handgun in Connecticut.
