Is open carry allowed in Connecticut with a valid permit?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but only in rural areas
No
Yes, but subject to local ordinances

The correct answer is: Yes, without restrictions

Yes, open carry is allowed in Connecticut with a valid permit without restrictions. Connecticut is a "may-issue" state when it comes to issuing permits for open carry, meaning that as long as the applicant meets all the legal requirements and passes the background check, they can obtain a permit to openly carry a firearm in the state. It's important for permit holders to familiarize themselves with all applicable state laws and regulations regarding open carry to ensure they are in compliance at all times. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the open carry laws in Connecticut. Option B is incorrect because open carry is not limited to rural areas. Option C is incorrect because open carry is allowed with a valid permit. Option D is incorrect because open carry with a valid permit is not subject to local ordinances.
