What is the penalty for carrying a handgun without a valid permit in Connecticut?

  1. Fine only

  2. Imprisonment only

  3. Both fine and imprisonment

  4. Community service

The correct answer is: Both fine and imprisonment

In Connecticut, the penalty for carrying a handgun without a valid permit includes both a fine and imprisonment. Option A and D are incorrect because they only mention one potential consequence and do not cover the full range of penalties. Option B is incorrect because although imprisonment is a possible punishment, it is not the only one. Therefore, option C is the most accurate answer.
