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

  1. No waiting period

  2. 14 days

  3. 7 days

  4. 10 days

The correct answer is: 10 days

In Connecticut, a person may not purchase a handgun without a valid state permit. However, once a permit is obtained, the waiting period to purchase a handgun is 10 days. Option A is incorrect because it implies that there is no waiting period at all, which is not the case in Connecticut. Option B is incorrect because 14 days is longer than the actual waiting period of 10 days. Option C is incorrect because 7 days is shorter than the actual waiting period of 10 days. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 10 days.
