What is required to sell a handgun privately in Connecticut?

  1. Nothing, private sales are unrestricted

  2. Completion of a handgun safety course by the buyer

  3. Notification of the sale to local law enforcement

  4. Both parties must go through a licensed firearms dealer

The correct answer is: Both parties must go through a licensed firearms dealer

In Connecticut, selling a handgun privately requires both parties to go through a licensed firearms dealer. This process ensures that the transfer of the handgun is done legally, with the necessary background checks and paperwork completed to maintain the safety and security of the transaction. Additionally, this helps in keeping track of firearm ownership and helps prevent firearms from getting into the wrong hands.
