Connecticut Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What documentation is required to sell a firearm privately in Connecticut?

1. Firearm bill of sale

2. Approval from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection

3. A valid hunting license

4. No documentation is required

The correct answer is: Approval from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection

In order to legally sell a firearm privately in Connecticut, you must have approval from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. While having a firearm bill of sale or a hunting license may provide additional documentation, they are not the primary requirement for a private sale. In fact, no documentation is needed is not the correct answer as there is a specific governmental approval needed. Therefore, option D is incorrect. Similarly, a valid hunting license, although it may show some eligibility for handling firearms, is not the correct answer as it does not satisfy the legal requirements for private firearm sales in Connecticut. Option C is also incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is option B as it provides the necessary context and reasoning for why the other options are incorrect.
