How long is the waiting period to purchase a handgun in Connecticut for someone without a permit?

  1. 14 days

  2. 10 days

  3. 7 days

  4. There is no waiting period

The correct answer is: 10 days

In Connecticut, there is a mandatory 10-day waiting period for anyone purchasing a handgun without a permit. This waiting period allows for a thorough background check to be conducted before the purchase is finalized. Option A, 14 days, is incorrect because it is longer than the actual waiting period. Option C, 7 days, is also incorrect because it is shorter than the required waiting period. Option D, there is no waiting period, is incorrect because there is a waiting period in Connecticut for purchasing a handgun without a permit.
