Who is responsible for issuing a State Permit to Carry Pistols or Revolvers in Connecticut?

Local Police Chief
Department of Public Safety
Special Licensing and Firearms Unit
Connecticut State Police

The correct answer is: Special Licensing and Firearms Unit

The correct answer is the Special Licensing and Firearms Unit. In Connecticut, the Special Licensing and Firearms Unit is responsible for issuing State Permits to Carry Pistols or Revolvers. They handle all the applications, background checks, and approvals for individuals seeking to carry a handgun in the state. Option A is incorrect because local police chiefs do not issue State Permits to Carry Pistols or Revolvers in Connecticut. Option B, the Department of Public Safety, does not have this authority either. Option D, the Connecticut State Police, while a law enforcement agency, does not handle the issuance of State Permits to Carry Pistols or Revolvers; that responsibility lies with the Special Licensing and Firearms Unit.
