Can non-residents apply for a Connecticut handgun permit?

  1. Yes, but they must have a permit from their home state

  2. Yes, without any restrictions

  3. No, non-residents cannot apply

  4. Yes, but only if they work in Connecticut

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

Non-residents can apply for a Connecticut handgun permit, but they must have a permit from their home state. This is because Connecticut recognizes gun permits from certain other states, allowing non-residents with valid out-of-state permits to apply for a Connecticut handgun permit. This reciprocity agreement streamlines the application process for non-residents while still ensuring that they meet the necessary requirements for firearm ownership in Connecticut.
