Who is required to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Connecticut?

Only Connecticut residents
Only non-residents
Both residents and non-residents
No one is required

The correct answer is: Both residents and non-residents

In Connecticut, both residents and non-residents are required to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as those with felony convictions or certain mental health conditions, do not have access to firearms. By conducting background checks on all purchasers, regardless of their residency status, the state aims to promote safety and responsible gun ownership.
