What is Connecticut's stance on 'open carry' of firearms?

Permitted without a license
Permitted with a permit
Not permitted under any circumstances
Only permitted for long guns

The correct answer is: Permitted with a permit

Open carry of firearms in Connecticut is not permitted without a valid permit. Option A may seem correct as there is no law specifically prohibiting open carry without a permit, but it is not allowed in practice. Option C is incorrect as Connecticut does allow open carry with a permit. Option D is also incorrect as both long guns and handguns require a permit for open carry. Therefore, the correct stance on open carry is that it is permitted with a permit in Connecticut.
