Which firearms safety course is required for the State Pistol Permit application in Connecticut?

The correct answer is the NRA Basic Pistol Course. In Connecticut, to apply for a State Pistol Permit, individuals are required to complete an NRA Basic Pistol Course. This course covers essential topics such as firearm safety, basic handling skills, and state laws regarding firearms. It provides a solid foundation for understanding how to safely and responsibly use a pistol.

The other options are not the required safety course for obtaining a State Pistol Permit in Connecticut. While a Hunter Safety Course and a Firearms Training Course by a certified instructor may cover some aspects of firearm safety, the specific course mandated for the State Pistol Permit application is the NRA Basic Pistol Course. Additionally, the option stating "Any firearms safety course approved by the state" may not necessarily meet the specific requirements set by Connecticut for obtaining a State Pistol Permit.
