Can i order an airsoft gun by mail in ct

In Connecticut, the laws regarding the sale and purchase of airsoft guns are somewhat complex. While it is technically possible to order an airsoft gun by mail in CT, there are some restrictions and requirements you should be aware of:

  1. Minimum age requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to purchase an airsoft gun in Connecticut.
  2. Background check: Some airsoft retailers may require a background check before shipping an airsoft gun to Connecticut. This is because Connecticut has a law that prohibits the sale of certain firearms and airsoft guns to individuals who are prohibited from possessing them due to a criminal conviction or other factors.
  3. Airsoft gun restrictions: Connecticut has a law that prohibits the sale of airsoft guns that are designed to look like real firearms, including those that are "substantially similar" to real firearms. This means that airsoft guns that are designed to look like pistols, rifles, or shotguns may be prohibited from being sold in the state.
  4. Shipping restrictions: Some airsoft retailers may not ship airsoft guns to Connecticut due to the state's laws and regulations. Additionally, some shipping carriers may not allow the transport of airsoft guns due to their own policies and regulations.
