Steps to obtaining a pistol permit in Connecticut after completing a basic pistol course:
-Obtain a Certificate of Completion: First, you must successfully complete a basic pistol course from an NRA certified instructor or other approved entity. Once you complete the course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.
-Submit Application: You will need to obtain a pistol permit application form, which you can get from your local police department or the Connecticut State Police website. Complete the application and gather all the required documents, including your Certificate of Completion, birth certificate or passport, and proof of residency.
-Schedule Fingerprints and Background Check: You will need to schedule an appointment with your local police department to have your fingerprints taken and a background check completed. You will need to pay a fee for this service.
-Wait for Approval: Once you have submitted your application and completed the fingerprinting and background check, you will need to wait for approval. The state has 60 days to process your application, but it may take longer in some cases.
-Pick up Permit: If your application is approved, you will receive notification to pick up your permit. You will need to provide a valid form of identification to receive your permit.
Note that the process may vary depending on your local police department and other factors, so be sure to check with your local authorities for any specific requirements or procedures.
