Buying Ammo in Connecticut

Connecticut state laws are somewhat more restrictive than the majority of the states in the United States. In Connecticut, you cannot buy ammo without a handgun carry permit, gun sales permit, or long-gun/handgun eligibility certificate. Ammunition certificates are issued by the state's Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection. Like many other states, armor piercing rounds are illegal. And Connecticut also prohibits the sale and possession of magazines with capacities of more than 10 rounds. Of course, all federal laws also apply in the Constitution State.

Lucky Gunner is able to ship ammunition to our fellow shooters in Connecticut so long as they meet the following:

• The ammo purchase must be made by someone at least 21 years old.
• The buyer must hold at least one of the following which is valid and non-expired: valid permit to carry a pistol or revolver issued under CT law; valid permit to sell at retail a pistol or revolver issued under CT law; valid eligibility certificate for a pistol or revolver issued under CT law; valid long gun eligibility certificate issued under CT law; or valid ammunition certificate issued under CT law.
• A valid, non-expired driver's license, passport, or other government issued ID. Please note, military IDs are not permissible because of laws that will not allow copies of such IDs to be made.
