Firearms permits
Connecticut pistol permits are issued, and revoked, by the local issuing authority — usually the town's police chief, not the State. A Bridgeport permit denial or revocation can be appealed to the state Board of Firearms Permit Examiners under Connecticut General Statutes § 29-32b, within 90 days of the notice. The Board's calendar runs months out, so the first call matters. More on the firearms page.
