Is a background check required for private gun sales in Connecticut?

Yes, for all sales
No
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, for all sales

In Connecticut, a background check is required for all gun sales, whether they are conducted by licensed dealers or private individuals. This measure is in place to help ensure that firearms do not end up in the hands of individuals who are legally prohibited from possessing them, such as convicted felons or individuals with a history of domestic violence. By requiring background checks for all sales, including private transactions, the state aims to enhance public safety and prevent gun violence.
