Connecticut Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

In Connecticut, a valid pistol permit is required to purchase a handgun. This permit serves as proof that the person has passed a background check, completed a firearms safety course, and has not been disqualified from owning a handgun. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the permit requirements in Connecticut. Option A suggests that no permit is needed, which is incorrect. Option B suggests that only a background check is required, but this is part of the process for obtaining the permit. Option C mentions an eligibility certificate, which is not the same as a pistol permit. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
