What is required to transfer a handgun in Connecticut?

  1. A bill of sale only

  2. An authorization number from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection

  3. A handshake agreement

  4. Notification to the local police department

The correct answer is: An authorization number from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection

In Connecticut, to transfer a handgun, an authorization number from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection is required. This number is obtained through the Special Licensing and Firearms Unit after completing the necessary background check and paperwork. It is important to follow the proper procedures and obtain the authorization number to ensure that the transfer is legal and compliant with state laws. The other options, such as a bill of sale only, a handshake agreement, or notification to the local police department, are not sufficient for legally transferring a handgun in the state of Connecticut.
