Getting a firearm transferred in Connecticut
When you buy a firearm online or from another state, the seller ships it to a licensed dealer, not to you. You pick the dealer, the dealer receives the firearm, and you complete ATF Form 4473 and a background check in person before taking it home. Dealers set their own transfer fees and policies, so call first to confirm they will accept the shipment. Connecticut may add its own rules on top of federal law, such as waiting periods, permits or restrictions on certain firearms; your dealer will know what applies.

Figures come from the list of active licensees ATF publishes monthly; "in our finder" leaves out chain stores that do not take transfers and dealers who asked not to be listed.
