Gun Laws > Permits
An eligibility certificate or pistol permit is required to purchase a handgun. Both documents are valid for 5 years, allow unlimited purchases, and will waive the long gun waiting period. Carrying a handgun also requires a pistol permit, with a 60-day permit issued by a local official required as a prerequisite to receiving the 5-year permit issued by the Connecticut State Police (CSP). |
Gun Laws > Prohibited persons
An eligibility certificate or pistol permit for a handgun cannot be issued to a person who did not complete a firearm safety course, or was convicted of a felony or any of 11 specified misdemeanors; convicted as delinquent for commission of a serious juvenile offense; discharged from custody within the preceding 20 years after being found not guilty of a crime by reason of mental disease; confined to a hospital for psychiatric disabilities within the preceding 12 months by court order; or is subject to a restraining, protective, or firearm seizure order, or is an illegal alien or under age 21. A firearm cannot be possessed by a person who was convicted of a felony or a serious juvenile offense, or is subject to a restraining, protective, or firearm seizure order. |
