Can individuals with a history of mental illness obtain a gun permit in Connecticut?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but with restrictions

  4. Yes, but only after a waiting period

The correct answer is: No

In Connecticut, individuals with a history of mental illness are generally prohibited from obtaining a gun permit. This restriction is in place to help ensure the safety of both the individual and the community. By denying gun permits to individuals with a history of mental illness, the state aims to minimize the risk of potential harm that could arise from the possession of firearms in such cases.
