Does Connecticut recognize pistol permits from other states?

Yes, all states' permits are recognized
No, Connecticut does not have reciprocity agreements
Yes, but only from states with similar requirements
Yes, but the permit holder must also pass a Connecticut firearms safety course

The correct answer is: No, Connecticut does not have reciprocity agreements

Connecticut does not have reciprocity agreements with other states regarding pistol permits. This means that Connecticut does not automatically recognize permits issued by other states. Therefore, individuals carrying pistols in Connecticut would need to have a permit issued specifically by Connecticut to be in compliance with the state's gun laws. Option A is not correct because Connecticut does not recognize all states' permits without any conditions or restrictions. Option C is not correct because Connecticut's recognition of out-of-state permits does not always depend on whether the other state has similar requirements. Option D is not correct because while a permit holder may need to meet certain additional requirements in Connecticut, such as passing a firearms safety course, this is not the primary reason why Connecticut does not recognize permits from other states.
