Why Why Connecticut’s Permit?
Connecticut does not have constitutional carry, which means residents generally need a Connecticut Permit to Carry Pistols and Revolvers to carry a pistol or revolver. Connecticut also does not recognize out-of-state permits for carry, making the Connecticut pistol permit especially important for residents and qualifying nonresidents who want to carry legally in the state. Connecticut uses a two-step permitting process: a temporary permit issued by a local authority and a regular five-year permit issued by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
This class provides the firearms safety training needed to begin the Connecticut pistol permit process. After the course, students can continue the application process by submitting the required application materials, proof of training, fingerprints, fees, identification, and supporting documents to their local issuing authority. Once a temporary permit is issued, students can continue the state-level process with DESPP for the regular state permit.
