Connecticut requires a state-issued permit to carry a pistol or revolver in a motor vehicle, with strict storage rules for those without a permit under CGS 29-35 and 29-38.
Under Connecticut General Statutes Section 29-35, no person shall carry any pistol or revolver upon their person, including within a motor vehicle, except when at their residence or place of business, without a valid state pistol permit. CGS 29-38 prohibits knowingly having a weapon in a vehicle without proper authorization. Long guns transported in vehicles must generally be unloaded. The permit requirement applies statewide and preempts any local rules attempting to expand or contract these standards. Violations are felonies in many circumstances.
Carrying without a permit is a class D or C felony depending on circumstances; weapons in vehicles without authorization carry separate felony penalties under CGS 29-38.
