The correct answer is: File an appeal with the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners

In Connecticut, the correct process for appealing a denied State Pistol Permit application is to file an appeal with the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners. This board is responsible for reviewing appeals regarding denied pistol permit applications and has the authority to overturn a denial if it is deemed to be unjust. It is important for applicants to follow the proper procedures and provide any necessary documentation to support their appeal when going through this process. Option A is incorrect because the appeal should be filed with the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners, not the State Police. Option B is incorrect as the appeal should not be filed with the local issuing authority. Option D is incorrect as there is indeed an appeal process available in Connecticut for denied State Pistol Permit applications.
