What is the penalty for carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Connecticut?

  1. A misdemeanor charge

  2. A fine

  3. A felony charge

  4. License suspension

The correct answer is: A felony charge

People who carry a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Connecticut can face a felony charge. This is because the combination of a dangerous weapon and impaired judgment can potentially lead to serious harm or even death. Therefore, this offense is taken very seriously and is considered a felony, not a misdemeanor. Additionally, while fines and license suspensions may also be applicable consequences for other offenses, they are not the primary penalty for carrying a firearm while under the influence.
