There are 3 grades of permit in CT
Ammo permit: allows one to buy ammo and nothing else.
Long gun permit: allows one to buy a rifle or shotgun and ammo, but not a handgun
Pistol permit: allows one to buy and carry* a handgun as well as buy a long gun and buy ammo

Legally a CT pistol permit allows for open carry, although few do so.
