What is required to purchase a handgun in Connecticut?

  1. A state pistol permit, eligibility certificate, or long gun eligibility certificate

  2. Driver's license

  3. Proof of age only

  4. NRA membership

The correct answer is: A state pistol permit, eligibility certificate, or long gun eligibility certificate

In Connecticut, the state requires residents to obtain either a state pistol permit, an eligibility certificate, or a long gun eligibility certificate in order to purchase a handgun. While having a driver's license may be useful for identification purposes, it is not a requirement for purchasing a handgun. Similarly, proof of age alone is not sufficient for purchasing a handgun as it does not ensure that the individual has met all the necessary requirements. Additionally, an NRA membership is not required for purchasing a handgun in Connecticut. Therefore, the correct answer is A A state pistol permit, eligibility certificate, or long gun eligibility certificate.
