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

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for sales of rifles and shotguns

  4. Only for sales at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes

In Connecticut, a background check is required for all firearm sales, including private gun sales. This requirement helps to ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as convicted felons or individuals with domestic violence restraining orders, are not able to obtain guns through private sales. This background check requirement applies to all types of firearms, including handguns, rifles, and shotguns, and is not limited to sales at gun shows. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
