What is the mandatory minimum sentence for illegal possession of a firearm in Connecticut?

1 year
2 years
5 years
10 years

The correct answer is: 1 year

In Connecticut, the mandatory minimum sentence for illegal possession of a firearm is 1 year. While 2 years (option B), 5 years (option C), and 10 years (option D) may seem like plausible answers, they are incorrect because they exceed the minimum sentence requirement. Option B is also incorrect because it is too similar to the correct answer, making it an unlikely choice. Option C and D are incorrect because they are too harsh of sentences for this type of crime. It is important to note that while 1 year is the mandatory minimum, a judge can still impose a longer sentence depending on the circumstances of the case.
