Before selling a handgun privately in Connecticut, what must the seller obtain from the buyer?

  1. Driver's License

  2. Eligibility Certificate

  3. Social Security Number

  4. Nothing is required

The correct answer is: Eligibility Certificate

In Connecticut, a seller must obtain an eligibility certificate from the buyer before selling a handgun privately. This is to ensure that the buyer is legally allowed to possess a handgun. Option A, a driver's license, does not suffice as a form of identification for purchasing a handgun. Option C, a social security number, is not required for firearm transactions. And option D, nothing is required, is incorrect as an eligibility certificate is required.
