What is the minimum age to apply for a long gun eligibility certificate in Connecticut?

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 16 years

  4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 18 years

In Connecticut, the minimum age to apply for a long gun eligibility certificate is 18 years old. This certificate allows an individual to purchase and possess long guns such as rifles and shotguns. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they are above the minimum age requirement. Option B, 21 years, is the minimum age requirement for applying for a handgun eligibility certificate in Connecticut. Option C, 16 years, is the minimum age requirement for obtaining a learner's permit in Connecticut. And option D, 25 years, does not align with any age requirements for gun ownership in the state. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
