What is the minimum age to apply for a State Pistol Permit in Connecticut?

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Connecticut, the minimum age to apply for a State Pistol Permit is 21 years old. This age requirement is in line with federal law and is designed to ensure that individuals applying for a pistol permit are of a mature age and have reached the legal adulthood age when they can handle the responsibilities and obligations that come with owning a firearm. Option A (18 years old), Option C (16 years old), and Option D (25 years old) do not align with the correct age requirement specified by Connecticut state laws.
