| I do not have a pistol permit, i am only 20 years old, and i dont want to supply this communist state with any more money than i have to, so what alternatives do i have to acquire ammunition, i do reload, so my questions are, am i still able to purchase powder, primers, and projectiles? Are there any sites that will ship ammo to ct without requiring the form? And how hard is it to get the form?? Ty for any help i can get. |

No. Ct now requires a person be 21 or older to buy ammo, mags and firearms. Even the hunters license won't get you ammo or firearm anymore.

Is there any other permit you are old enough for? I can't remember but there are a handful of permits you can have in CT that allow you to purchase ammo. |

An individual is only required to be 18 years of age to obtain a long gun (except for a >5 rd centerfire semi-auto at retail) or long gun eligibility certificate An individual may also obtain an Ammunition Certificate at 18, which allows the purchase of ammunition and magazines. |

An ammunition certificate, from what I have heard, is issued "while you wait" by DPS. The application is a one page form and the cost is $35. By statute, only "loaded cartridges" (consisting of a primed case, propellant or projectile, desgined for use in any firearm) are considered ammunition. My sincere recommendation is that unless you have already taken qualifying training, do not obtain a long gun eligibility certificate. Do obtain an ammunition certificate. Obtain the long guns you want (and legally can acquire) between now and April; and buy ammunition/ mags to your content. Take your pistol training and then obtain a pistol permit. If for some reason you can not obtain a permit to carry (e.g. you are denied based on suitability, or something), get an eligibility certificate for pistols/ revolvers- which will allow you to buy pistols, long guns, magazines, and ammunition- thus making it of slightly greater utility than a long gun eligibility certificate. Depending on time lines in your area (some towns have loony impositions), and your buying interests, you may find that you will want to apply for a (pistol) eligibility certificate ASAP when you turn 21 and get your permit (so you can actually take your pistols out of your home/fixed place of business, once you get it) when possible. |

I have a better idea, move to a free state! Hell....sounds like England with all of these certificates. That's always a nice thought. I think that we all like to have it, but for those of us who can't (or don't want to) to leave- my advice still stands. |

CT isn't that big, can';t you drive to NH or something? Drive for hours to avoid paying $35.  Repeat each time you want some ammo or a mag. 
From the Hartford area Southern New Hampshire is at least 2 hours each way. Rhode Island is like an hour, to the border. |
