TL;DR: Was told CT pistol permit holders have a lower BAC limit while driving regardless of whether or not they are carrying. Is this true?
I'm a MA resident with my LTC, but am going to graduate school in CT and am looking to get a CT pistol permit in order to have some of my handguns with me at my off campus apartment. I was taking the NRA basic pistols class in order to apply for the permit and the instructor informed me that in CT, having a pistol permit meant the legal alcohol limit for driving was cut in half to .04 BAC, regardless of if they are carrying or not. In doing research after the class, I can't find evidence of this anywhere. Is this true?
