  1. Be at least 21 years old

  2. Have a permanent resident status

  3. Complete a background check

The correct answer is: Have a permanent resident status

To obtain a handgun carry permit in Connecticut, one must meet certain requirements. These include being at least 21 years old, completing a background check, and passing a written firearms safety exam. Having a permanent resident status is NOT a requirement to obtain a handgun carry permit in Connecticut. This is because Connecticut allows non-residents to apply for a non-resident permit to carry a handgun within the state. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
