Is a permit required to carry a concealed handgun in Connecticut?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for residents of Connecticut

  4. Only outside of one's home or business

The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, a permit is required to carry a concealed handgun in Connecticut. This state follows a "may-issue" policy, where local authorities have the discretion to issue permits to residents who meet specific requirements, such as completing a handgun safety course and demonstrating good character. Therefore, individuals must obtain a permit before they can legally carry a concealed handgun in Connecticut. The other options are not entirely accurate as they do not reflect the specific permit requirements in Connecticut.
