Can I carry in Connecticut with a Massachusetts license?

Yes. Yes — the licenses from our 39 State Multi License Course are honoured in Connecticut.

The detail

What Connecticut honours.

  • Multi course licenses: honoured. The six licenses the 39 State Multi License Course qualifies you to apply for (MA, ME, NH, CT, PA, FL) include at least one that Connecticut recognises — so after you apply for those licenses, you can carry here.
  • Connecticut is one of the six licenses we teach. The class covers Connecticut's law directly; you apply for the Connecticut non-resident license with the state afterwards.
  • A Massachusetts LTC on its own is recognised by far fewer states than the six-license bundle. If you only hold a MA LTC, confirm Connecticut's current position with Connecticut's licensing authority before you travel.
  • Reciprocity changes. This page reflects the map we teach from and is reviewed regularly; the state's own published list is the final word.
Applying is your step. Each state license is applied for separately with that state's authority. The class is the training all six require first.

Does the Multi course give me a Connecticut license?
It teaches Connecticut's law and qualifies you to apply for the Connecticut non-resident license — you then apply for that license with the state yourself. Several of the other five are honoured here by reciprocity too, so most students end up covered twice over.
Do I need to live in Massachusetts to take the class?
No. Many students drive in from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and beyond for the six-license bundle. Non-residents apply for the MA license through the Firearms Records Bureau.
How long is the class?
Four to five hours, for both the Basic and the 39 State Multi. One visit either way, live fire included — about the same four to five hours, for five more states of law.
