Who is responsible for issuing Connecticut State Pistol Permits?

Connecticut State Police
Local Police Chief or First Selectman
Department of Public Safety
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

The correct answer is: Local Police Chief or First Selectman

The Local Police Chief or First Selectman is responsible for issuing Connecticut State Pistol Permits. This is because state law gives local authorities the right to issue pistol permits to residents of the town or city they serve. The other options, such as the Connecticut State Police and the Department of Public Safety, may play a role in regulating and enforcing gun laws, but they are not directly responsible for issuing pistol permits. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is a federal agency that does not have jurisdiction in issuing state pistol permits.
