NOTE: Continuing legislation regarding
handgun/firearm laws in all states is a known factor and can lead to
change and/or modifications in the present state laws, including but not
limited to Reciprocity between states. Also consider the possibility of
certain states either adding or removing states from their list of
approval when new bills/laws have been ushered in by certain states. It
is your responsibility to remain informed on which states recognize your
state issued permit(s) prior to entering another state. You may find
reference to state gun laws and requirements at various websites on the
internet, such as
http://www.handgunlaw.us or
http://www.usacarry.com however keep in mind
that the aforementioned website holds strong disclaimers on accuracies
cited in their content. Therefore, it is our suggestion that you contact
the state directly for their current handgun/firearm laws and
restrictions. |

You have probably found yourself here because
you are interested in obtaining a Permit to Carry Pistols and
Revolvers issued by the State of
Connecticut,
also called a Pistol Permit
or a non-resident permit in another state that requires the
completion of the National Rifle Association's Basic Pistol
Class. Click on Permit Class in the menu on the left for
information about the class.
Obtaining a Connecticut Pistol Permit will allow you to
purchase, possess and carry pistols and revolvers
outside your home within the State of Connecticut as
well as to carry a loaded handgun on your person for
personal protection.
Outside of the state the Connecticut Permit is currently
recognized by eighteen other states: Alaska, Arizona,
Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Vermont and Wisconsin.*
Residents of Connecticut who wish to carry in more
states are encouraged to apply for a non resident
Florida Concealed Weapon/Firearm License also called a
CCW. Completion of the NRA Basic Pistol Class also meets
the State of Florida's firearm education requirement.
By obtaining both a Connecticut Permit and a non
resident Florida Permit you will be able to legally
possess and carry your handgun in a total of thirty four
states, in addition to the above listed states you will
be legal in: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.*
* Remember, whenever carrying or transporting a handgun
you must always follow the laws that pertain to the
possession and transport of firearms in the state that
you are in. You should always check with the local
authority in the state you will be in to verify that
your permit is recognized and to learn their laws
pertaining to the possession and transport of handguns
in their state.
Please select Permit Class on the menu to the left to
review information about the NRA Basic Pistol Class and
view the current schedule. Select Registration from the
menu when you are ready to sign up for a scheduled
class. |
