To acquire a Long Gun Eligibility Certificate in Connecticut, an individual must NOT:

  1. Be under federal indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year

  2. Be convicted of a felony

  3. Be an undocumented immigrant

  4. Be a recipient of a full pardon for any crime

The correct answer is: Be a recipient of a full pardon for any crime

To acquire a Long Gun Eligibility Certificate in Connecticut, an individual must not be a recipient of a full pardon for any crime. This is the correct answer because a full pardon essentially restores all of an individual's rights, including their right to possess firearms. Therefore, if someone has received a full pardon for any crime, they would be eligible to possess a long gun and would not need to obtain a Long Gun Eligibility Certificate in Connecticut. Option A is incorrect because being under federal indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year would disqualify an individual from acquiring a Long Gun Eligibility Certificate. Option B is incorrect because being convicted of a felony would also disqualify an individual from acquiring a Long Gun Eligibility Certificate. Option C is incorrect because undocumented immigrants are generally not eligible to possess firearms in the United States.
