Can non-residents apply for a Connecticut gun permit?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. No, under no circumstances

  3. Yes, but they must have a valid permit from their state

  4. Yes, but only for antique firearms

The correct answer is: Yes, but they must have a valid permit from their state

Non-residents can apply for a Connecticut gun permit, but they must have a valid permit from their state in order to do so. This reciprocal agreement allows individuals from other states to apply for a Connecticut gun permit as long as they already possess a valid permit from their home state. This provision helps streamline the process for non-residents who wish to legally carry firearms in Connecticut while ensuring that they meet the necessary licensing requirements. Option A is incorrect because non-residents are not able to apply for a Connecticut gun permit without any restrictions. Option B is incorrect because non-residents are allowed to apply for a Connecticut gun permit under certain conditions. Option D is incorrect because non-residents are not restricted to applying only for antique firearms permits.
