What is the mandatory waiting period for purchasing a handgun in Connecticut?

24 hours
14 days
7 days
There is no waiting period

The correct answer is: 14 days

In Connecticut, there is a mandatory waiting period of 14 days for purchasing a handgun. This means that after a background check is conducted, the purchaser must wait for 14 days before taking possession of the firearm. Option A, 24 hours, and option C, 7 days, are both incorrect as they do not match the actual mandatory waiting period in Connecticut. Option D, "There is no waiting period," is also incorrect as there is indeed a waiting period in Connecticut. It is important to note that waiting periods can vary from state to state, so it is important to research the specific laws in your state before purchasing a firearm.
