Can a person carry a handgun in a vehicle without a permit in Connecticut?

  1. Yes, if unloaded and locked in the trunk

  2. No, under no circumstances

  3. Yes, anywhere in the vehicle

  4. Yes, if the person is transporting it to a shooting range

The correct answer is: No, under no circumstances

In Connecticut, it is illegal for a person to carry a handgun in a vehicle without a permit under any circumstances. The state requires individuals to have a valid permit to carry a handgun, whether it is loaded or unloaded, inside a vehicle. Therefore, option B is correct. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest scenarios where carrying a handgun in a vehicle without a permit would be permissible, which is not the case according to Connecticut gun laws.
