That used to be true, it's no longer true. Connecticut now has three levels of permits, ammunition, longarms and handgun/carry. You cannot even purchase ammunition in Connecticut without at least an ammunition permit.
What I said is one hundred percent true. As a non-resident, with a Connecticut Permit to Carry, you can purchase a rifle shotgun, you can purchase ammunition, and you can purchase legal magazines. You can also carry a pistol or revolver where not prohibited by law or by the property owner.
And, you would be incorrect in stating that Connecticut has a 3-tier system. It's a four tier system.
1. Permit to carry (authorizes purchase of long guns, purchase of pistols and revolvers, purchase of ammunition, purchase of legal magazines, and carry of pistols or revolvers)
2. Certificate of Eligibility for Pistols or Revolvers (authorizes purchase of long guns, purchase of pistols and revolvers, purchase of ammunition, purchase of legal magazines)
3. Certificate of Eligibility for Long Guns (authorizes purchase of long guns, purchase of ammunition, purchase of legal magazines)
4. Ammunition Certificate (authorizes purchase of ammunition, purchase of legal magazines)
[purchasing others and handguns requires Connecticut residency]

I think he may have intended to mean on a non resident CT carry permit.
That's what I meant- CT permit bearing an out of state permit. (There is no nomenclature distinction on permits issued to nonresidents like there is in Mass)
Permits issued by out of state jurisdictions are meaningless in CT, aside from being an underlying requirement for obtaining a CT permit as a non-resident.
