Connecticut Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

How does Connecticut classify assault weapons?

1. Any semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine

2. Specifically listed models and those with certain features

3. All rifles with a magazine capacity over 10 rounds

4. Connecticut does not have an assault weapons ban

The correct answer is: Specifically listed models and those with certain features

Connecticut classifies assault weapons by specifically listed models and those with certain features. This means that Connecticut has a specific list of models that are classified as assault weapons, as well as certain features that can classify a rifle as an assault weapon. The incorrect options include options A and C, as they are too broad and do not take into account specific models or features. Option D is also incorrect, as Connecticut does in fact have an assault weapons ban.
