Who is eligible for a Gun Permit in Connecticut?

  1. Any resident over the age of 21

  2. Residents and non-residents with a valid hunting license

  3. Any resident over the age of 18

  4. Non-residents for recreational shooting only

The correct answer is: Any resident over the age of 21

In Connecticut, individuals who are eligible for a Gun Permit are residents over the age of 21. This is because to legally possess a handgun in Connecticut, you must obtain a permit from the local law enforcement agency. Applicants must be at least 21 years old to apply for a permit to carry a pistol or revolver. Therefore, option A is correct. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the specific eligibility requirements for a Gun Permit in Connecticut. Residents and non-residents with a valid hunting license, residents over the age of 18, and non-residents for recreational shooting only do not meet the age and residency criteria established by Connecticut's gun laws.
