Can a non-resident carry a handgun in Connecticut with a permit from another state?

  1. Yes, automatically

  2. Yes, if they have a Connecticut Non-Resident Carry Permit

  3. No, under no circumstances

  4. Only if the other state's permit is recognized by Connecticut

The correct answer is: Yes, if they have a Connecticut Non-Resident Carry Permit

Yes, a non-resident can carry a handgun in Connecticut if they have a Connecticut Non-Resident Carry Permit. This is the correct answer because Connecticut allows non-residents to carry handguns in the state as long as they have obtained a Non-Resident Carry Permit from Connecticut specifically. Option A is incorrect because carrying a handgun in Connecticut as a non-resident without the proper permit is not automatic. Option C is incorrect as Connecticut does allow non-residents to carry handguns with the appropriate permit. Option D is also incorrect because simply having a permit from another state does not automatically allow non-residents to carry in Connecticut; they must specifically have a Connecticut Non-Resident Carry Permit.
