Can someone under a restraining or protective order possess a firearm in Connecticut?

Yes, but not a handgun
No
Yes, if permitted by the court
Yes, as long as it's not specified in the order

The correct answer is: No

It is illegal for someone under a restraining or protective order to possess a firearm in Connecticut. This is because the purpose of these orders is to protect the victim from further harm, and allowing them to possess a firearm would directly compromise this goal. Option A is incorrect because it is still illegal for someone under a restraining or protective order to possess a handgun in Connecticut. Option C is incorrect because the court will not permit a person under such an order to possess a firearm. Option D is incorrect because the order typically specifies that the person is prohibited from possessing any type of firearm.
