CONNECTICUT PISTOL PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS

This Class is the First Step in Obtaining your Connecticut Pistol Permit and is Required by the State of Connecticut to apply for your permit.

STEP 1:

At the end of today’s class you will receive an NRA or USCCA Certified Certificate signed by the NRA & USCCA Instructor. Please MAKE A COPY. Keep the original and use the copy to apply for your CT Pistol Permit with your local Police Department.

STEP 2A:

You will then go to your Local Police Department Website. Follow the instructions on their website specific to your town. Most, but not all, have gone to the NEW system where you will need to complete a ‘Pre-Enrollment Application’. There is a specific code for each Town/City and you must use the proper one. Fill out the Application and then book your fingerprinting appointment online.

STEP 2B:

Download, print off & fill out the application, do NOT sign or date it until you are in front of the notary public. Then you will need to get the application notarized, most of your local banks will do that for free as part of your checking account services. Next, gather all required documents that your Town/City requires. Proof of Citizenship, possibly letter of recommendations, the certificate, and whatever else they require. You will then go down to your local PD on their given times (varies town by town, city by city) and get processed. They will run a State, Federal, Local background check on you as well as fingerprint you. It will take a approx. 8 weeks to come back and could take additional time in the larger cities. Once you are approved, your local Police Department will issue you a 60 Day Temporary State Pistol Permit. You cannot do anything with that except proceed for STEP 3.

STEP 3:

Once you have the 60 Day Temporary State Pistol Permit you can go to one of three places to process your Permit.

• State Police HQ in Middletown at 1111 Country Club Road, Middletown, CT.

• State Police Troop G in Bridgeport at 149 Prospect St, Bridgeport, CT.

• State Police Troop E in Montville at Governor John Davis Lodge Turnpike, Uncasville, CT.

Any of the locations will issue your Connecticut Pistol Permit!
