Shipping to Connecticut
Connecticut is one of the few states where ammunition needs a credential but not a dealer. It comes to your door, provided you can show a state firearm or ammunition certificate; the firearm itself goes to your FFL and needs an authorisation number pulled at the counter.
Firearms
Every firearm ordered from htxguns.com ships to a licensed dealer in Connecticut — never to a home address. You pick the dealer at checkout, we send the gun and a copy of our licence, and you collect from them once the background check clears. The dealer sets their own transfer fee and collects it directly from you.
Ammunition
Connecticut requires a state firearm or ammunition certificate alongside photo ID.
Suppressors and NFA items
Suppressors are lawful to own in Connecticut with an approved ATF Form 4. We are a Class 2 SOT and file the paperwork in house, and the federal tax stamp has been $0 since January 2026.
Optics, holsters, parts and gear
Everything outside firearms, ammunition and NFA ships direct to your address in Connecticut with no dealer and no paperwork.
What to have ready
A Connecticut permit or eligibility certificate, and an authorisation number pulled by your dealer. Your receiving dealer verifies this before they can release the firearm, so it is worth sorting out before you order rather than after the package arrives.

This page is our shipping policy, not legal advice. Connecticut's permit, waiting period, roster and magazine rules are applied by your receiving dealer at transfer, and several states' rules are currently being litigated.
